Grade 9 Animation students visited Red River College yesterday to take part in “Day in The Life of An IT Student”. During the morning session students had a chance to practice logic skills needed to create good computer code by trying to break tasks into the smallest number of steps possible. They also learned how binary numbers make up code. After a pizza lunch, students made bulletin board websites that included movable sticky notes, photos and links to YouTube videos. The day was organized by the Business Information Technology department as a way to encourage students to study and consider careers in Information Technology. Students also had a chance to tour the Princess Street campus and hear from former students about their experiences working in the IT field.
