Where the classroom meets the mine site
Developed by the CoRE Learning Foundation in partnership with the WA Mining Club, Pit to Pixel puts Year 9 students into the role of Data Analysts working alongside Mining Engineers, Geologists, and Digital Specialists. This interactive simulation is a direct connection to industry, making learning relevant and fun for students.
Over one semester, students work in business units to interpret real mining data, build digital dashboards, and design solutions to challenges facing modern mining operations. The program concludes with students presenting their work to a panel of WA Mining Club professionals, understanding the careers available to them in the industry before they graduate.
Everything is mapped to the new SCSA Year 9 Digital Technologies curriculum, giving teachers a practical, ready-to-use pathway into the new requirements without starting from scratch.
