Year 10 Robotics and Programming
Students investigate innovative IT systems to discover their functions and how their components interact. They analyse issues associated with network security and computer network basics. Students develop and apply specialised knowledge and understanding within given tasks and use a range of skills and techniques to create their own database systems to be tested and evaluated. Students develop the ability to critically analyse and reflect on issues related to the increased use of and dependence on computer-based systems in society and investigate the associated ethics. Students also learn about computer programming/ Robotics and establish a strong foundation in Python Programming and Arduino.
