Digital Technologies Program
Real-World Learning
Co-designed with industry and DT curriculum experts, each challenge engages students to connect in-class ‘hands on’ learning with real-world examples of obstacles faced by today’s sector.
Examples include:
- exploring the diversity of Western Australia including the Pilbara from Ningaloo Reef to the Great Sandy Desert
- learning how raw materials are used in everyday items
- programming and coding robots to monitor coral reefs
- calibrating vehicles to move around rough terrain
- simulating a remote operations centre (ROC),
- building skills in collecting and analysing data for modelling and projections within real-world context.
The CME Digital Technologies Program delivers curriculum aligned content for students in Pre-Primary to Year 10. Incorporating online and offline activities, students build skills in automation and data science through real-world scenario challenges.
A partnership between CME member companies, curriculum design experts Grok Academy and supported by the WA Government, the Digital Technologies Program provides students with a fun and engaging way to build essential STEM skills for their future.
