Technical Design
The rise in digital technology has impacted all aspects of society from communication, transportation, medical to entertainment. We take technology in our stride but consider your day without:
- Social networking: email, IM, Facebook, texting, mobile phone, Snapchat
- Transportation: GPS, car (anti-lock brakes, electronic ignition), planes, trains
- Medical systems: electronic health records, nearly all medical tests
- Commerce: ecommerce, ATMs, credit cards, debit cards
- Entertainment: iPods, digital TV, movies (CGI), remote control devices, E-Sports
At Saints we empower students to become more confident users and consumers of digital systems and to be discerning and creative problem solvers, equipped for an increasingly knowledge-based economy and society.
The key focus of the Saints Digital Technologies program is to build the following skills:
- Collaboratively create interactive solutions
- Explore real-world problems in digital technologies
- Create complex programs using appropriate programming language
- Apply protocols and legal practices that support safe, ethical and respectful communications
- Critique and evaluate student developed solutions for existing information systems
- Acquire knowledge and apply critical thinking and problem solving to create innovative, purpose-designed digital solutions
