Program Overview
The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has officially integrated Computational Thinking and Artificial Intelligence into the foundational and middle school curriculum as a core 21st-century skill. This comprehensive 9-month program is specifically designed to give your child a deep, hands-on mastery of both Computational Thinking and AI — completely aligned with CBSE's framework, NCERT's AI handbooks, and the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020.
Your child will learn to think like a scientist, reason like a mathematician, solve like an engineer, and create like an AI researcher. Starting with unplugged thinking activities (no screens!), we gradually introduce Scratch block coding, AI concepts through stories and games, Google's Teachable Machine, the official CBSE AI Project Cycle (Problem Scoping with 4Ws → Data Acquisition → Data Exploration → Modelling → Evaluation), AI Ethics, Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and culminate in real AI projects your child will proudly showcase.
By the end, your child will have built 50+ projects, understood how Netflix, Alexa, YouTube and self-driving cars really work, and will be fully prepared for CBSE AI Class 9 (Code 417) and later AI Class 11-12 (Code 843).

Why CBSE-Aligned Computational Thinking & AI Mastery Now?
The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has officially made Computational Thinking and Artificial Intelligence part of the foundational curriculum for all students from Class 3 to Class 12. This is not optional any more — it is the new 'literacy' of the 21st century. Schools across India are rapidly integrating AI, but most lack the depth, time, and expert faculty needed to truly master this subject. This course fills that gap completely.
Unlike generic coding courses, this program is built around CBSE's exact pedagogical framework: the 4 pillars of Computational Thinking and the 5-stage AI Project Cycle. Every project your child builds follows CBSE-board-exam format. Every topic maps directly to NCERT AI handbooks and the CBSE Skill Subject AI curriculum (Code 417 for Class 9-10, Code 843 for Class 11-12).
Starting early (Class 3-8) creates compounding benefits: your child develops logical reasoning that boosts Maths and Science scores, cultivates problem-solving confidence, builds a tangible portfolio of 50+ AI projects useful for board practical files, school competitions, and eventually IIT/NIT/top college admissions. More importantly, they learn to use AI ethically and creatively — not just consume it.
