Whether you want to uncover the secrets of the Universe, or you want to pursue a career in the 21st Century, basic Computer Programming is an essential skill to learn.

We live in the Computer Age and are surrounded by a myriad of examples of it’s digital technology. Our lives are circumscribed by it, from work to leisure and every area between.

Digital literacy is arguably as important as literacy.

To make the most of what the world now offers, we will need to understand how these technologies work and what impact they have on our lives. Further, it is essential that we are able to maximise the way in which technology can help us develop as a well rounded and self-sufficient member of today’s society.

As global citizens, we must be discerning of the information available, able to it, analyse it, use it and create it in a morally and ethically unassailable manner.
