Year 10 Digital Technologies (DIG)
WHAT WILL I LEARN?
Fuse science, maths, technology and creativity to invent a better world! In Year 10 we will do a large variety of things like:
- Website making
- Laser Cutting
- 3D modelling
- 3D Printing
- Python programming
- Drones and robot building
- Computer Games creation
- Micro Computer Development
In a world where a person is required to continuously problem-solve and reinvent herself, this subject will give you the skills and knowledge to do so. On top of that you will also build the resilience and working ethic to cope in a fast-changing environment that comes to rely more and more on digital technology. In Digital Technologies you will develop your computational thinking and you will be designing and developing digital outcomes.
