Problem solving

Analysis, design, development and evaluation through the VCAA problem-solving methodology.

02

Software development

Programming, algorithms, data structures and user experience.

03

Quality & security

Testing, debugging, evaluation and secure software development.

04

SAT mentoring

Guidance on planning, programming, documentation and reflection while preserving student ownership.

Learning activities

Ideas become visible.

  • Algorithm and programming exercises
  • Independent SAT planning and review
  • Testing and evaluation practice

Example projects

Practical work with a clear purpose.

  • Algorithm and programming exercises
  • Independent SAT planning and review
  • Testing and evaluation practice

Learning progression

Explore. Build. Apply. Master.

Support follows the student’s school assessment sequence and may connect to further technology study or independent programming projects.

Proposed Growth & Care approach

More than a course. A supported learning journey.

Where included in the confirmed program, guided questioning, practical challenges and constructive feedback can support confidence and independent problem-solving.

The exact coaching, mentoring and pastoral-care practices included are confirmed for each program. An individually assigned mentor is not promised.

Forge learning support

Verified Forge resources may support practice and project organisation, but access is not promised for every student.

Frequently asked

Course questions.

Can a coach complete part of my SAT?

No. Feedback and mentoring must preserve student ownership and comply with school and VCAA authentication requirements.
