Eight-year-old computer prodigy Seth Yee has swapped his home in Singapore for Dandenong North, drawn by a program at a local primary school where students are learning how to build the next Bitcoin.

In what is believed to be a Victorian first, students at Wooranna Park Primary School are being taught how to use the software behind Bitcoin to create their own security-encrypted digital currency.

Seth's father, Ray, said the family had searched far and wide to find a school such as Wooranna Park which would stimulate their son, who was building virtual spaceships on a NASA program when he was six.

"I think it is opening up a lot for him," said Mr Yee.
