This course covers a range of Digital Technologies topics and is aimed at students with different levels of skills and knowledge of computer use. The course is designed to give students a basic level of skills and knowledge in Software Development in order to achieve L1 credits and prepare them for L2 and beyond. 

Areas of learning include: Algorithms, database management, programming, and computational thinking.

This course will be assessed using Digital Technologies Achievement standards. The assessment will require students to learn and develop new skills in order to apply them to solving problems. Assessment is a combination of internally and externally assessed standards.

Requirements: While much time is spent developing students' coding projects in class, it is strongly recommended that students have access to a laptop or desktop computer so they can work on them at home as well.
