This course will give students a functional knowledge of
in demand computer programs, including Block
Coding, UX/UI Design, and HTML & CSS. Students will
also be introduced to Data Analytics, an increasingly
important field in today’s business world, by learning
the basics of data collection and analysis through a
self-guided research project.
In addition to the above formal components, students
will be looking at the general use of AI (Artificial
Intelligence) and the issues it creates throughout the
whole course. This will help raise their awareness in
this field and form a solid understanding of the potential
benefits and challenges they could face when using AI.
The study of this course will contribute to the general
education of students and is not just for those intending
to pursue further study in the DigiTech area.
