    Welcome back to school and to a new academic year, 2020. I hope you have had a great holiday.

    My name is Mr Chen and I am going to be your year 10 digital technology teacher throughout the year. Some students are new to this course, you will have to make an extra effort to get up to speed so be prepared to put in some work!

    In this course we are going to explore and use a wide variety of electronic components in circuits. We will start this week by learning about simple circuits and how to use the bread board in building circuits.
