In an effort to equip students with the skills of tomorrow, the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has announced a series of free Artificial Intelligence (AI) bootcamps specifically designed for students in Grades IX and X from CBSE-affiliated schools who have AI as a skill subject. This initiative aligns with the National Education Policy 2020's focus on fostering a future-ready workforce and nurturing digital fluency among young learners.
These intensive boot camps will provide students with a comprehensive introduction to the fundamentals of AI and will be conducted in a convenient after-school format, spanning two hours each day over a two-week period. This flexible schedule ensures minimal disruption to regular academic studies while maximising learning opportunities.
Registration and Key Details
Schools affiliated with CBSE can register their interested students for the bootcamps. Participation is entirely free of charge, making this initiative accessible to all students. To enroll, schools must register their students through a dedicated link available on the CBSE academic website. Upon registration, participants will receive all necessary documents via email to join the bootcamp.
The sessions are scheduled from July 3 to July 19 and August 5 to August 22, between 4 PM and 6 PM.
This initiative by the CBSE is a positive step towards ensuring that Indian students are at the forefront of the AI revolution.
