9DGT
This course will focus mainly on the Digital Thinking strand, with the 9TDT (Technology - Design Thinking) option covering the Designing and Developing Digital Outcomes strand.
9DGT and 9TDT provide the groundwork for 10DGT - the two strands will be combined in 10DGT before moving to Computer Science in Senior School. After Year 9, increasingly more complex problems, structures and syntax are addressed, requiring a high level of logical thinking and effective practice to meet the needs of the end-user.
9DGT will cover:
File management
Decomposing problems
Writing algorithms
Programming using Scratch
Testing and debugging errors
Data representation in binary
Searching/sorting methods
User interfaces
DGT leads you to a variety of career pathways, such as: Computer Programmer, Website Developer, Business Analyst, Systems Manager, Systems Architect, Computer Engineer.
