Two clear pathways — Applied Computer Science Foundations (Primary, Years 3–6) and Applied Computer Science Academy (Secondary, Years 7–10). Live online via Zoom or in-person in Narre Warren and Bundoora.
Whether your child is meeting code for the first time or stretching toward VCE, Innovate Academy has a structured, live, instructor-led pathway — not pre-recorded videos.
Python — logic, problem solving, real projects
HTML & CSS — building modern web pages
JavaScript — making the web interactive
Foundational AI concepts — logic, patterns, decision rules
Live instructor-led delivery, online or in-person
Small groups, expert coaching, term-based progression
Years 3–6 (in-person up to Year 8) · Foundations
Friendly entry into real coding using guided Python, HTML, CSS and JavaScript projects. Computational thinking and creative challenges.
Building confident problem-solvers through structured, live coding and computational thinking. Available in-person at Narre Warren and Bundoora, or online via live Zoom classes. No prior coding experience required.
Foundational AI concepts are explored through logic, patterns and decision rules — building early awareness of how intelligent systems operate.
Computational thinking & logic — break problems into steps
Programming foundations — sequencing, variables, conditions, events
Problem solving through iteration — testing, debugging, improving
Clear thinking & communication — explain how programs work

A structured, term-based online program for students in Years 7 to 10. Delivered live via Zoom, the program focuses on how students think — not just what they code. Strong runway into VCE Applied Computing and Software Development.
Programming languages are used as learning tools, helping students understand how software systems are designed, tested and improved.
Logical and algorithmic thinking
Structured problem solving and debugging
Designing and building functional programs
Applying programming concepts to real-world scenario
Python — algorithms, conditions, loops, structured programs
HTML & CSS — building and styling digital interfaces
JavaScript — interactivity and dynamic behaviour
Introduction to AI concepts — rules, patterns, decisions
Already includes access to Innovate Forge Digital Infrastructure & learning ecosystem — secure access to structured pathways, portfolios and AI-supported practice environments.
Understand programming concepts across multiple languages
Design and build functional programs and digital projects
Debug and improve their own code with confidence
Develop strong logical and computational thinking
Build readiness for advanced computer science and VCE pathways
