The IB Middle Years Programme or MYP is designed as a five year course of study, typically grades 6-10. This is volume 1 of 2 covering the first 3 years. Volume 2 teaches years 4-5. Each of the eight subject areas must be taught a minimum of 50 hours per school year. Each year of this material has 50 lessons. Technology is one of the eight subject areas. Each year of the programme has 3 projects with each covering one of the ‘branches’ of technology. These branches are Materials, Information and Systems. Each of the three branches must be covered in each year of the Middle Years Programme. The table of contents for each year is posted below the following course descriptions. Years 1-5 of MYP Tech will typically begin in grade 6 and end in grade 10.

MYP Technology: Year 1 of 5 (typically grade 6)
The main goal of the first year of study in MYP Technology is to introduce and put into practice the Design Cycle. The lessons and units are designed to lead the students through each phase of the design cycle step by step so that they can practice using it. The design cycle is the driving force behind all that is planned and taught in the MYP Technology course. Students also have the opportunity to learn about and use a design brief, design specification and criteria assessment rubric. 50 lessons are included following the syllabus below.

MYP Technology: Year 2 of 5 (typically grade 7)
The second year of MYP Technology builds upon the first year. There are further opportunities for students to practice using the design cycle. This will allow students to improve their skills in writing design briefs, design specifications and using assessment rubrics. The difference in the first and second year of the Technology course is that the projects vary from simplistic in the first year to more sophisticated in the final year.

MYP Technology: Year 3 of 5 (typically grade 8)
The third year of the programme has 3 projects with each covering one of the ‘branches’ of technology. These branches are Materials, Information and Systems. Each of the three branches must be covered in each year of the Middle Years Programme.

The third year of the MYP Technology course starts out immediately with a project. In the first two years of the course there was an introduction and a review of the design cycle. For third year students in MYP Technology this is not necessary. Like the first two years there are three projects designed to have students use the design cycle. However, the difference is that in year three students are beginning to have a broader audience in mind for their final products. In the first year students design and create products or solutions to problems that they have, but in the third year they are starting to tackle problems that have more global implications. 50 lessons are included following the syllabus below.

The printed or eBook teacher’s edition includes syllabus, pacing guide, detailed daily lesson plans, editable class notes (in PowerPoint form), complete student activity book and editable assessments. Lessons include class notes for lecture support, activities and assignments are designed to engage students in the content while introducing and reviewing essential skills.
