As a part of the efforts to create an AI ecosystem in schools, CBSE collaborated with Intel\u2019s AI4Youth initiative, to create a 2-year curriculum which was covered in six months as part of a pilot project. Through the project, a hundred students studying in grade VIII and IX from eight schools across the country learnt coding and core competency skills such as problem-solving, creative thinking and self-reflection. As a part of this initiative, around 450 teachers were also given training through workshops.
