Unit Creating an app or game

Year level: 7-8 Topic: Creating digital solutions Time: 16 hours

Use the context of apps and digital games development to build students’ capabilities and confidence in creating a digital solution that uses a general-purpose (text based/scripting) programming that allows for choices (branching) and repetition (iteration). There is a wide range of interactive online tutorials that students could work through to learn and practise coding for a particular programming language, such as Python and Ruby. Once students have determined the purpose and requirements of the game, they describe how the solution will be created and consider design features appropriate to the audience. After the game has been developed, students evaluate its success.
