Modification of pre-existing programs can be achieved with enough domain knowledge, which can solve relevant gaps for digital technology Curriculums. The process of modifying such programs can bring to light other challenges like mixing very different technology, encouraging self-efficacy and engagement, and pacing learning to individual needs. This pilot-study highlights some of the challenges faced in using a program not designed for the local audience; the steps taken to change the program for the Australian digital technology curriculum; and identifies some areas of further research in extracurricular activity development for a digital technology curriculum.
