Technology is the use of tools, machines, and systems to solve problems and improve daily life. In Grade 6, students begin to explore how inventions, coding, and digital tools shape the way people work, communicate, and learn. Through inquiry learning, they ask questions about benefits and risks, experiment with devices, and connect technology to real-world challenges. Instead of only consuming tech, they create, test, and reflect on new ideas. By building curiosity and responsibility, Technology becomes more than gadgets, it becomes a way to innovate and prepare for the future.
