Tech Discovery

The Tech Discovery program allows young learners to further explore skills and platforms that they will later master as part of a developing tech-toolkit. Students will take the next step in their coding education through building more advanced Scratch projects, and gain confidence with art and design projects using the 3D modeling program, TinkerCAD.

About the Program

Our Tech Discovery program is designed for young learners or students who have completed the STEAM Discovery program, who are already comfortable with online learning and students who have had some previous tech experience and want to explore their options.

Tech Discovery students receive a well-rounded experience with all the topics available at TechTrain. exploring coding fundamentals, Machine Learning concepts, and 3D design platforms.

The Game Design Discovery course allows students to discover all of the foundational coding concepts present in Scratch, learning about each block type, and how it relates to real-world coding.

The 3D Design Discovery course allows students to discover the essential steps and tools of 3D modeling. Students will learn the 3D design process, from finding a reference to creating the model and will gain an understanding of how to navigate a virtual 3D environment.

By the end of the program, students will be prepared to choose their own path forward through our curriculum based on their new found experience along with their interests and ambitions.

Tech Discovery Class in Action

Two sample activities for this program would see a student learn about the application of condition statements using Scratch by creating a game requiring a conditional system. Another example, related to the design course would see student analysing real life landscapes for reference and to break down complex shapes into their basic part before modeling their own 3D landscape based on their chosen reference using TinkerCAD.
