Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Miss C. Greenwood.

10 Digital Technology (10DIH Half year course)

PART ONE: Programming and Robotics

Year 10 Technology is about developing solutions to real design problems for real people. Students will develop thinking skills including imagining, designing, testing, creating, building and evaluating.

Students will have the opportunity to either use any or a combination of Lego Mindstorms / MBlock MBots / Arduino / Micro:bits v2 to create and program robots to perform a variety of real life solutions. There may also be other opportunities to learn game or app development programming.

PART TWO: Web Programming (CT) and Design (DDDO)

Students will learn how to use HTML5 and CSS3, the two types of code upon which all websites are based. HTML and CSS is an excellent starting point to the world of code and is a mandatory languages for any web developer to know. You'll learn all about these two languages and how they work together to render your website.

Learning goals:

Build a first web page with HTML and CSS
Distinguish between HTML and CSS and identify their separate uses
Identify and apply correct syntax for common HTML elements
