Level 2 Digital Technologies

Course Description

BIG QUESTION: Can successful projects be based on personal interests?

This course involves the students taking on the role of a Technologist. The students are expanding upon their skills gained in earlier Digital Technologies courses and exploring their interests through a year-long project. In this project the students will determine their own client and create a product to meet an identified need within a context. This is where students will get an opportunity to explore paths they are interested in and undertake self-directed learning.

Students who have not completed may be considered at the discretion of the Head of Department, Digi and Design Tech. Those who have no prior experience will struggle and will need to put in extra time and effort outside of the class time.
