Year 10 Digital Technology

This course runs for a single semester. Students will work to grow their programming and electronic skills ready for NCEA. No previous experience is required but it would be helpful if students had programmed before.

In this course, students will be taught how to program an Arduino-based desktop toy with a 3D-printed enclosure of their own design.

Students will be introduced to C++ and Python as programming languages as well as Tinkercad and Cura for 3D modelling. 

We will also cover some of the computational thinking skills around sorting algorithms and images that make up the digital technologies curriculum.
