Later in the term students learn about how computers carry out instructions using logic gates, eventually showcasing their skills by developing complex combined logic gates and truth tables. Summer term focuses on the development of programming skills and techniques. Students will learn how to plan, design, build, code and test programs that enables them to create and play games using software such as Python and AppShed on a variety of platforms. They will learn how to and plan’ ‘think like a computer programmer, create computer games that use algorithms to sequence characters and objects.
