Teacher in Charge: Mrs C. Sunnex.

Recommended Prior Learning

8 Credits NCEA Level 1 Digital Technologies.


Students choosing digital technologies pathways for NCEA Level 2 will develop the more specialised skills that industry partners say are in high demand. 

This course requires students to make a Digital Outcome to fulfil a need or opportunity - students are guided through an inquiry process to design and develop a digital outcome to meet the needs of a local or regional opportunity. The outcomes can range from apps, games, 3D augmented reality, web sites, movies, comic strips  or wherever the student's interest lies.

They are required to conduct an Inquiry leading to writing a Proposal, researching and applying relevant conventions to design the outcome. They will then proceed to use advanced processes to develop the outcome.  Students experience project management as they participate in the course and have fun along the way!
