Age: Ages 13–15

Curriculum: IEB

Subject: Technology & Computing

What to Expect from IEB Grade 8 Technology

IEB Grade 8 Technology develops the design process, technical knowledge, and creative problem-solving skills that the IEB curriculum emphasises. EdSoft's adaptive module builds both technical competence and design thinking progressively.

The Design Process

The IEB Technology curriculum centres on the design process — investigate, design, make, evaluate, and communicate. All technical content is developed through this framework, ensuring learners develop both knowledge and the ability to apply it creatively.

Structures

Learners investigate how structures bear and distribute loads — developing understanding of stability, reinforcement, and the principles of structural design. Design projects challenge learners to apply this knowledge to real problems.

Mechanical Systems

Mechanical systems — linkages, gears, pulleys, and pneumatics — are explored both theoretically and practically. Learners design and build mechanisms that perform specified functions.

Processing and Materials

Materials processing — how raw materials are modified for use in manufacturing and construction — is investigated alongside the environmental implications of processing decisions.
