Digital Technology

The Digital Technology faculty at Aitken College equips students with the skills and creativity to navigate and innovate in the rapidly evolving world of technology. Through engaging and hands-on projects, students gain a solid foundation in coding, digital design, and problem-solving.

Year 9 Digital Technology introduces students to diverse areas of tech creativity and coding. In the Game Maker unit, students explore the fundamentals of game development, designing and programming their own interactive games. The Animation unit allows students to bring their ideas to life by learning animation techniques and tools, fostering their storytelling and visual communication skills.

Students also delve into coding with the BBC Microbit, a pocket-sized computer that introduces hardware programming concepts. They progress to more advanced coding with Python, one of the most versatile programming languages, through the CS in Schools program. Here, students explore artificial intelligence and its applications, gaining insights into cutting-edge technology that shapes the modern world.

The Year 9 Digital Technology program encourages students to think critically, solve problems, and unleash their creativity, preparing them for further exploration of digital innovation and technology-based careers.
