Identify curriculum	Technologies learning area	The Technologies curriculum provides students with opportunities to consider how solutions that are created now will be used in the future. Students will identify the possible benefits and risks of creating solutions and learn to recognise that views about the priority of the benefits and risks will vary and that preferred futures are contested. They will use critical and creative thinking to weigh up possible short-term and long-term impacts. They develop solutions to meet needs considering impacts on liveability, economic prosperity and environmental sustainability. The Australian Curriculum: Technologies describes two distinct but related subjects: Design and Technologies, in which students use design thinking and technologies to generate and produce designed solutions for authentic needs and opportunities Digital Technologies, in which students use computational thinking and information systems to define, design and implement digital solutions.
