Course Description
In Year 9 Digital Technologies, students develop their understanding of Python coding (specific coding language used by many digital industries) and apply this learning to design solutions in digital projects.

Students will evaluate and apply computational thinking to projects such as VEX robotics challenges and App design.

Contemporary issues such as cyber security and personal safety online will be woven into assessments to strengthen students understanding of their personal responsibilities online.

Assessment
Assessment types include a sequence of practical Skills Tasks, written research Tasks, and a Major Design Project that is documented through a multimodal Design Folio.

Student achievement is assessed according to the Digital Technology Achievement Standards outlined in the Australian Curriculum, with A-E Grades used for reporting.
