Subject Description
This course enables students to build and apply strong technical skills and gives them opportunities to develop their problem-solving skills and ICT skills in a collaborative way.
In this subject, students focus on developing and understanding skills in computational thinking such as decomposing problems and prototyping; and engaging students with a wider range of information systems as they broaden their experiences and involvement in national, regional and global activities.
Are You Game? teaches students to use systems and structures to solve real world problems.
It provides students opportunities to develop and implement solutions, they design and evaluate and integrate learning from science and mathematics using computer programming and analysis. Computational thinking will allow our students to become the next generation of innovators.
