The document outlines the MYP Design Technology program at Canadian Academy. It notes that students in grades 6-8 receive a minimum of 50 hours per year of technology instruction, with 35 hours spent in a dedicated Design Technology course and 15 hours of integrated projects. The course uses a hybrid approach, combining computer technology and design technology. It focuses on teaching the design cycle as a problem-solving model rather than just the final product. Assessment is also discussed.
