This elective requires payment of an additional fee to cover materials and consumables (as above).

Students will learn how to become confident and creative developers of digital solutions through the application of information systems and specific ways of thinking about problem solving. Through applying technology, students acquire deep knowledge and understanding of digital systems, data and information, and the processes associated with creating digital solutions. The course aims to provide practical opportunities for students to explore the capacity of information systems to transform data systematically and innovatively into digital solutions through the application of computational, design and systems thinking. This course will cover programming languages that are relevant to students specific needs. 

Digital Technology Pathway

Year 10 Digital Technology leads to the VCE subject of Computing. The study of Computing provides students with opportunities to acquire skills to use digital systems efficiently and effectively when creating digital solutions.

VCE Computing focuses on the application of a problem-solving methodology, and strategies and techniques for managing information systems in a range of contexts, to create digital solutions that meet specific needs. Through a structured approach to problem solving, incorporating computational, design and systems thinking, students are equipped to orient themselves towards the future, with an awareness of the technical and societal implications of digital systems.

Studies in this area can lead to a range of careers in fields such as data science, software development; cyber security and systems administration; engineering and telecommunications; web and network design; and IT service management. IT skills are highly sought after in a range of other careers.
