Curriculum Guide
Creative Technologies
(Grade 7)
Learning Scope:

Creative Technologies is a contextualized Technology and Livelihood Education (TLE) subject for the Special Program in
Science. Learners in this program are known to be scientifically inclined. Hence, the topics included in this curriculum not only meet their
interest and intellectual capacity, but also aim to support the research that they will be doing all throughout their stay in the Special
Program in Science Secondary.

Creative Technologies is a project-based curriculum where learners study the theoretical and social context of their projects. Half
of the learners’ study time is allocated for laboratory work in developing a range of projects to apply ideas in the different fields.

At the end of Grade 7, learners understand the processes involved in product design and development, perform product
research, conceptual design, model creation, and ergonomic (user-friendly) design. Furthermore, they apply engineering design
methodologies to real-world societal problems using the computer as the central design tool and 3D printer in producing their tangible
outputs.

Subject Title: DYNAMIC COMPUTER APPLICATIONS & INTERACTIVE GRAPHICS No. of Hours: 30 hours
(3 hours / week)

Subject Description: The subject, Dynamic Computer Applications & Interactive Graphics, helps learners understand the processes involved in product
design and development, perform product research, conceptual design, model creation, and ergonomic (user-friendly) design. It also helps them apply
engineering design methodologies to real-world societal problems using the computer as the central design tool. It prepares them to effectively make, model,
create, and innovate concepts and ideas using various Dynamic Computer Applications and Interactive Designs. Moreover, it enables them to learn
techniques in presenting and evaluating their designed ideas through virtual prototyping and physical prototyping that demonstrate their abilities to design and
modify graphical images through engineering analysis, animation, and diagnostic feedback from the customers, end users, and industry-partners.
