This course provides pupils with opportunities to become familiar with how computer technology works and a look at
what goes on ‘behind the scenes’. Through the introduction of programming, this course will help candidates develop their
problem solving skills. For many, it will be a fun and interesting way to develop these skills, which can be transferred to other
subjects and even applied in day-to-day life.
