As Digital Technology teachers, we understand the constant challenge of keeping up with rapidly evolving technologies, all while managing student progress, ensuring curriculum alignment, and providing individualised support. It’s no easy task.
That’s why we created Nova—your AI-powered tutor and teaching assistant, designed to make your life easier while enhancing student learning outcomes.
🚀 The Digital Technology Teacher’s Perfect Partner
Nova isn’t just another teaching tool—it’s an intelligent, always up-to-date AI Teachers Assistant that understands programming language and stays on top of the latest industry advancements. Developed by coding teachers and used in our popular AiCamp Program which was proven out of Victoria University, Wellington.
Key Features Designed for DT Teachers:
✅ Step-by-step lesson guidance: Nova takes students through structured lessons, ensuring they stay on track without constant teacher intervention.
✅ Mapped to the NZ Curriculum: A pre-built library of curriculum-aligned lessons means you no longer need to spend hours designing content from scratch.
✅ Customisable lesson plans: Adjust lessons to span multiple terms or modify them to fit your unique teaching approach.
✅ Code checking & debugging support: Nova assists with code reviews and teaches debugging skills, freeing up your time for deeper discussions and project-based learning.
✅ Encourages critical thinking: Nova never gives students the answer immediately—instead, it guides them through problem-solving techniques to build resilience and independent thinking.
✅ Seamless classroom integration: Whether you’re teaching JavaScript, HTML, or any other web development language, Nova adapts to your curriculum and keeps students engaged.
📚 A Smarter Way to Teach Coding
With our latest update, Nova now includes a library of pre-built lessons, mapped to the New Zealand Digital Technologies curriculum. These lessons are more than just theory—they are interactive, project-based experiences where Nova walks students through real-world coding challenges step by step.
How This Transforms Your Teaching Experience:
🔹 Reduces preparation time: No more reinventing the wheel—simply choose from our growing lesson library and customise as needed.
🔹 Frees you to focus on high-value teaching: Let Nova handle repetitive explanations so you can spend more time on deeper learning activities.
🔹 Provides real-time student support: Nova helps students with common coding errors and debugging, reducing teacher workload and improving classroom flow.
🔹 Improves student engagement: With hands-on guidance, students stay engaged and build confidence in their coding abilities.
💡 More Than Just Code—Nova Teaches How Applications Are Built
Nova doesn’t just generate applications for students—it teaches them how they were built. Using our proven BDLU (Breakdown Level Up) method, Nova breaks down a working application into its components, guiding students as they re-engineer and rebuild it themselves. This approach deepens understanding and mirrors real-world software development.
With Nova, students:
✔ Learn real-world problem-solving skills
✔ Develop critical thinking and debugging expertise
✔ Gain hands-on experience with industry-standard coding practices
👩🏫 Built by Teachers Who Are Programmers
Nova wasn’t built by an external tech company—it was created by a talented team of programmers who are also teachers. As a coding school, we’ve been teaching coding to thousands of students for over eight years through code camps, AI camps, and in-class programmes.
We understand firsthand the challenges of teaching Digital Technologies—the constant need to stay ahead of new programming languages, manage student progress, and create engaging lesson plans. Nova has been a lifesaver for us, dramatically reducing the time spent on:
✔ Lesson planning & customisation – Easily adapt lessons to fit your students’ needs.
✔ Progress tracking & reporting – Get real-time insights into student learning without manual data entry.
✔ Code review & debugging assistance – Nova helps students troubleshoot, so you don’t have to do it all yourself.
“It’s like having 30 teacher assistants helping you teach your students, as well as a team to help you plan and report.” – AkoTech Founder
Nova was built to solve the exact challenges we faced as Digital Technology educators—and now, it’s here to transform your teaching experience too.
