Alcoa Foundation Real World Digital Technologies: EOI

• This fully-funded, term-long program is an evolution of the Alcoa Foundation Real World Maths program and is based on the pillars of:
• Engaging students with inquiry learning of Digital Technologies integrated within authentic learning projects
• Developing teacher capacity and confidence, and improving teaching practices in the integration of the Digital Technologies, curriculum into everyday learning
• Supporting parents to make Digital Technologies feel safe and fun!

In 2026, Alcoa Foundation Real World Digital Technologies will be exclusively offered to schools in the Mandurah, Rockingham and Mundijong areas.

The program offers 4-6 teachers of Years 2-6 (including specialist teachers) the opportunity to participate in:

• Two after school Scitech Professional Learning workshops on the effective integration of Digital Technologies
• Individual face-to-face or online consultations to support teacher delivery of an integrated unit
• Networking opportunities with participating schools in the area.

In addition, participating schools will be supported in hosting their own afternoon community event called “Catch a Hacker“. This will engage the school community with fun problem-solving tasks based on the principles of coding.

• Participating schools will receive a free class set of micro:bits for use in the delivery of any of the four provided WA Curriculum-aligned, classroom-ready projects.
