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
