Build it. Code it

Nope - NOT Mr Swallow but a problem solver, who is naturally curious, likes gadgets, enjoys tinkering and creating things, hopefully like yourself.        And Mr Swallow!

If that's all true, then this course is for you. 

Some of the THINKING and PLANNING will be done for you. But the BUILDING will be up to you.

Electronics and programming are the focus of this course. 

There will be an opportunity to gain four  L1 credits by completing Unit Standards in Web and Excel.
