Description

This subject allows students to develop their conceptual and practical understanding of the key themes of code, data and algorithms within the context of designing and building a creative code prototype. It advances students' code and data literacy to enable them to communicate with programmers and technical teams in multidisciplinary environments. Conceptually, students explore code, data and algorithms from historical and social viewpoints, alongside a variety of digital media contexts. Students develop a practical understanding of code, data and algorithms, through a process of 'learning by design' as they prototype their chosen creative code project. As students build their project, they collaborate with peers to deepen their communication and literacy skills. Students critically reflect on their learning experience and demonstrate the development of their code and data literacy.
