Year 10 Computing Tech // App For Good Our Year 10 Computing Technology students recently showcased their work at the App for Good Showcase in The Hive, marking the culmination of their App for Good unit of work. Students were challenged to identify a real issue affecting our school community before conducting interviews, analysing their findings and designing an app to address the problem. With careful consideration given to both the user experience and user interface, they then brought their ideas to life through programming. The showcase provided an opportunity for students to present their apps to teachers and peers, receive valuable feedback and celebrate the innovation, creativity and critical thinking demonstrated throughout the project. #parramarist #fortiorito #makeitmatter
