Technology for LC

Making It Bad

Hey guys, long time lurker new poster here. I'm looking at ways to maximise points for my CAO in 6th year and have been considering Technology, it's not really a subject which seems to discussed much, if at all.

However, after looking at a sample paper it seems really the kind of stuff I'm interested and already have a knowledge for. I have a passion for PC gaming and computers, as a result I already know a lot about hardware and things like that. I'm also studying Physics which seems to also be of help here with things like Logic Gates and circuits seemingly involved.

So my question to you is where the hell can I take Technology as a LC subject (outside of school obviously)? After a tad bit of research it seem like it is only in a trail period as a LC subject or something? This is a huge shame in my opinion as this is exactly the modern kind of subject I feel the LC needs as a computer enthusiast.

I really doubt you'd be able to do it, schools that do it seem to have all sorts of crazy facilities. Look into it, but seriously, dont get your hopes up.

I do technology, but unless its being done in your school i cant see how your going to do it!.
there is also a project worth 25%, and another handy enough 25% for a folder!..
I would have thought taking up an extra subject would result in less time for other subjects(reducing your points)

You cannot do lc technology unless its is a subject being taught in your school
Basically because you cannot submit any project work for any LC (or JC) unless that project work has been carried out in accordance with the SEC guidelines, for example:

1. the project work has been carried out in school under the supervision of the teacher
2. that it is your own, unaided work - your teacher and school verify this by signing off on all candidates work

Ah well, too bad I guess. Guess I'll just have to continue to struggle away at HL English. Thanks for replies.
