This course is aimed at teaching the students about the history of IT, the revolution of the ‘computer’ and the two most significant elements of IT, Web Design and Programming.
IT and Computing is a very important part of a child's education as more of our daily lives are being run via computers in some form or another, and the more IT literate a child can be the more it will open up opportunities for them in the future.

As a part of this course, each child will learn the basics of designing a web page. They will have two assignments to complete as a part of this course.
1.First assignment will be in a group where they will have to design a web page advertising food and cakes. They will be required to design a logo, take pictures of special dishes and cakes that they will want to sell in their ‘fictitious’ web page.
2.The second assignment will be an individual effort aimed at giving them the opportunity to implement their own ideas based upon what they have learnt. They can choose any topic but must finish it by the end of the course.
