Year 10 Digital Technology - Electronics HALF Year (10DTEH)

10DTEH
Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Mr R. Rounds.

Year 10 Electronics focuses on the design and construction of electronic products. Students will learn to use Bluetooth technology to control RGB LEDs in a lighting project or design and create a set of Bluetooth amplifiers. They will utilize Tinkercad, an online platform, to design and simulate electronic circuits, ensuring proper functionality before building physical prototypes. Students will also develop skills in soldering, enabling them to construct functional electronic devices. Throughout the course, they will gain hands-on experience in electronics circuit building, simulation, and soldering techniques.

Digital Technology - Electronics continues through Year 11, 12, and 13, with Level 3 being a University-approved subject. This pathway provides students with a strong foundation in electronics and prepares them for further studies in related fields.

Apprenticeship opportunities are available from Year 12, allowing students to gain practical experience and apply their knowledge in real-world settings while continuing their education.
