Year 9 - i-Gen & The Game of Life

Young people are confronted by lots of difficult decisions as they make their way in life. Which career is right for me? How will I be able to afford a house? How do I invest money wisely? How do I put together the best itinerary for my gap year in Europe? It’s sometimes difficult to find the relevant information to help make these decisions. In this collaboration, students will investigate how digital technologies can support and guide young people towards successful futures. They conduct case studies and test existing apps and games, while developing skills to generate their own digital solutions. This course culminates in students developing either an app or a digital game using a range of technologies and programming languages.
