Code Masters

Master coding skills through exploring binary code, morse code, digital systems, algorithms and robots!

This incursion lets your students test their coding skills in the most enjoyable way possible. It is the ideal program to support your in-school digital technologies curriculum.

Students explore the components of a digital system, decoding data and solving a puzzle to examine how components communicate and function.

Year 5 and 6 students test and critically analyse searching and sorting algorithms to explain which are most efficient. Students learn how computers use binary to store and represent data, such as images, music and text, and they create their own binary representations of images.

Year 3 and 4 students get to grips with Morse code to solve a puzzle. They build their own algorithms in flowchart form and they explore ways in which information can be represented using letters, numbers and symbols.

We use Sphero SPRK+, Mini, Bolt and Ollie robots with obstacles and ramps to spark your students' interest in coding digital systems and executing algorithms.

Follow-up resources and professional learning certificates are provided for all attending teachers.

Suitable for primary school students in Years 3 to 6. View curriculum links here.
