Creating Digital Solutions

Technologies

Year 10

Elective

Technologies Elective – 1 Semester

Project Based – Applied computing, Digital Systems, Modular Programming,

Programs Used – Object-oriented programming languages, visualisation tools, design software

Content/Skills

Students will participate in a project-based subject that creates digital solutions to real-world problems. They will define and decompose the problems, defining functional and non-functional requirements. Students will design the user experience of a digital system, paying attention to accessibility, usability and aesthetics. Modular programs will be constructed, applying selected algorithms and use an object-oriented programming language. Students will implement and evaluate the solutions that are developed.

Selection advice

This subject runs over one semester, however students may choose this study twice as they will be involved in different projects each time. Students need to undertake a minimum of one Technologies subject in Year 10.

Links to further pathways

This subject is useful preparation for the study of Applied Computing at VCE level and will develop practical computing and programming skills that can be applied to a range of situations.
