What will be in the course?
Year 10 Digital Technologies is built around developing the digital literacies essential to the modern workforce as students work collaboratively to innovate, problem solve and develop real-world solutions. These skills are lucrative in the industry due to the rapid, world-changing acceleration of artificial intelligence in recent years.
In Semester One, students participate in the National Computer Science School competition to learn programming. They are supported through tutorials, teacher guidance and a series of challenges as they become more proficient in the Python programming language. Students also learn how to build an interactive social media web application using HTML, CSS, Python and the Flask web development framework. Finally, they create their own 3D game using the Godot game engine.
In Semester Two, students build artificial intelligence systems using machine learning techniques. They design and develop their own mobile apps for iPhone and Android. Through hands-on labs, they explore how modern computers operate, with practical experience in operating systems, cybersecurity, and ethical (white-hat) hacking.
