Grade 12 Mechanical Technology (Technical specialisation): common questions
Is the order of topics the same at every school?
Not necessarily. CAPS is the national framework, and the order of topics inside it is not prescriptive, so the term-by-term plan here is the Department of Basic Education's suggested sequence. Your child's school (or your homeschool plan) may teach topics in a different order, so check with their teacher. AlignWellz puts your child's own worksheets, homework and textbooks first.
Can an AI tutor help with Grade 12 Mechanical Technology (Technical specialisation)?
Yes. Your child can ask the tutor about Mechanical Technology (Technical specialisation) by typing or speaking, or attach a photo of a worksheet or homework (a clear JPG, PNG or WebP). The tutor is designed to guide step by step and check understanding rather than just hand over answers, and it puts your child's own school material first. AI can make mistakes, so it works best alongside your child's teacher and textbook.
