India Launches an AI Curriculum for Grades 3–8, Starting with Computational Thinking and Hands-On Tasks

On April 1, India launched a computational-thinking and artificial-intelligence curriculum for grades 3–8, organizing learning through math games, puzzles, hands-on activities, and collaborative tasks.

The curriculum builds foundations in computational thinking from the lower and middle elementary grades and places AI concepts in a continuous progression, with potentially broad reach.

Key areas to watch include teaching materials, teacher training, the range of school adoption, and methods for continuous assessment, with particular attention to device and regional differences.
