What to Expect from CAPS Grade 9 Coding and Robotics

Grade 9 Coding and Robotics completes the Senior Phase with the most advanced programming and digital systems content of the nine-year curriculum — preparing learners for FET CAT, Computer Science, or further technology specialisation. EdSoft's adaptive module develops professional-level programming thinking.

Advanced Programming Projects

Grade 9 develops full-stack thinking through substantial programming projects — learners apply all accumulated programming skills to design and build complete software solutions, including testing and documentation.

Networking and Cyber Security

Networking fundamentals — how data moves across networks, protocols, and network security — are developed at Senior Phase level. Cybersecurity concepts including encryption, authentication, and responsible digital citizenship are explored.

Artificial Intelligence: Introduction

An introduction to artificial intelligence — what AI is, how machine learning works conceptually, and the ethical implications of AI in society — is explored at an accessible, conceptual level.

Advanced Robotics

Senior Phase robotics culminates in complex autonomous systems — learners design, build, and program robots for multi-challenge competitions and real-world inspired problem scenarios.
