Year 9 Digital Technologies (DIG)
WHAT WILL I LEARN?
Fuse science, maths, technology and creativity to invent a better world! In the Year 9 taster you will go through a 9 week course where you will learn about basic Computer Science concepts and you will use software to develop your own logo that you can cut out using a sticker printer, 3D printer or a laser cutter.
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.
