Year 9 Digital Technology - Electronics (1 Term) (9DTE)
9DTE Course DescriptionTeacher in Charge: Mr R. Rounds.
This area of Technology focuses on the design and construction of electronic products. Project work revolves around the use of programmable microcontrollers. Students have the opportunity to design and construct electronic circuits, which they will simulate using Tinkercad to ensure proper functionality. They will also learn the essential skill of soldering and apply it to their project work, enabling them to create functional prototypes. Additionally, students will learn a programming language to control and interact with their electronic creations. Throughout the course, students will gain hands-on experience in electronics circuit building, simulation, and soldering techniques, preparing them for further exploration in the world of electronics and embedded systems.
