Victorian Curriculum 2.0 · Levels 5 and 6
Where it sits in the curriculum.
Buddy Creatures links directly to five areas of the Victorian Curriculum. We list only the codes the program covers directly.
Design and Technologies
A user's need, a design iterated from a drawing, and why some shapes print and others fail.
Digital Technologies
Students set the requirements, check AI output against the drawing and see why no names go near the tool.
Visual Arts
Drawing to a brief, painting a 3D form to match it, and presenting the finished piece beside the original.
Critical and Creative Thinking
Questions for an expert (the younger buddy), criteria for judging each version, and their own assumptions about AI.
Personal and Social Capability
Interviewer, maker and presenter: the older buddy carries a team role for a younger student and reflects on it.
The Level 6 Digital Technologies elaborations name AI outright, including checking AI output against a known-correct source. In Buddy Creatures that known-correct source is the child's own drawing.
Maths and Science come in through the worksheets students complete while the creatures are printing.
The program's set-up, with no student accounts and no names or faces near any AI tool, sits inside the Department's generative AI policy. See how we keep it safe.
