Year 13 Digital Technologies (DIG)

WHAT WILL I LEARN?

Fuse Science, Maths, Technology and creativity to invent a better world!  In Year 13  you will be completing an inquiry to propose, design and develop a digital outcome that will revolve around finding a solution to a problem in the wider (local or global) community that we will develop over the year. You will build on the skills that you have obtained over the last years and you will specialise in a certain pathway. We will focus on user experience methodologies for the design and complex processes to develop the outcome.  Depending on personal interests and abilities this might be Digital Media, Coding or Digital Engineering. Your outcome might be: a website, an app, a magazine, a (computer or board) game, or anything built using laser cutting, 3D printing, mechatronics, robotics or microcontrollers etc. It will be your choice.

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.
