| This course takes a technological approach to the design process and applies it to two projects. In the first project you will design and create plasticine “claymation” models which will then be used to make a stop-motion movie that you will compose, edit and share with your audience. In the second project you are given the opportunity to design, plan, create and evaluate a Edison based robot that will be programmed to carry out a chosen task. The programming will be done using icon based Edware programming software.There will also be learning based on the new Digital Technologies curriculum strands - computational thinking and designing and developing digital outcomes. | You will be assessed on your technology practice and modelling including: design skills, problem solving, teamwork and skills in computer processes in a range of projects | $25 for materials | This course leads to Year 10 Digital Technologies. |

| “Everybody should learn to program a computer, because it teaches you how to think.” - Steve Jobs, co-founder of Apple. Learn the fundamentals of computer programming through Scratch, a block-based programming language, by solving fun puzzles and small problems. Use the skills you learned in the course to build and test your very own computer game. Then explore the world of 3D modelling and design by using Tinkercad, a web app for 3D design, electronics, and coding. Develop your creativity and problem-solving skills by bringing your ideas to life in a fast and easy manner. | Create a video game for others to play and develop a 3D model prototype | This course leads to Year 10 Digital Technologies. |
