CTS Graphic Arts, Photography, and Technology
We offer Computer Technology and Robotics at Grade 9. Student learn and apply their skills in programming (Python, C++), design (TinkerCAD), and game creation (Scratch). These subjects offer a variety of challenges and learning opportunities in the technology field.
At the Grade 10/20/30 levels, students can choose from a list of options: Robotics, Photography, Graphic Design and Game Programming. These subjects cover photo-editing, robotics-based problem-solving, programming languages, game animation, 3D Modelling, and CAD applications.
Most options have online browser-based software support, which be accessed even by Chromebooks. However, it is preferable if students have main stream computers (running Win10. Mac OSX, or Linux) so as to use full-function programs.
