Digital Technologies
The Digital Technologies context encourages students to develop an empowered attitude towards digital technologies, use abstractions to represent and decompose real-world problems, and implement and evaluate digital solutions. Students have the opportunity to become innovative creators of digital technologies in addition to effective users of digital systems and critical consumers of the information they convey.
Students are provided with opportunities to develop fluency in a general-purpose programming language (python, javascript and arduino) and use these skills to solve information problems and to automate repetitive tasks.
This unit has a space focus exploring the idea of creating a robot for NASA that will be used to communicate with Aliens who have contacted earth.
