  1. Week 1

    Week 1

    1. Foundations of Computational Thinking (CT) and AI Readiness

      This domain is the ground floor of the whole certification: what computational thinking (CT) and artificial intelligence actually are, why CBSE has brought them into Classes 3-8 from session 2026-27, and how the skills grow from Class 3 to Class 8. It is the first of the seven training sub-themes CB

    2. From Play to Abstraction: Progressive Pedagogy for Computational Thinking

      From Play to Abstraction is sub-theme 2 of the seven training sub-themes CBSE notified in TRG-02 (09 April 2026) for the 2026-27 session. It covers the deliberate staircase the new CT&AI curriculum builds from puzzle-and-game learning in Classes 3-5 to abstract computational reasoning and early AI i

    Week 2

    1. Mathematics as the Cornerstone of Computational Thinking and AI Readiness

      This domain is sub-theme 3 of the seven teacher-training themes CBSE notified in TRG-02 (09-Apr-2026), and it explains why the Board has routed Computational Thinking through Mathematics rather than through the computer lab. In Classes 3-5 there is no new subject and no coding: CT lives inside your

    2. Interdisciplinary Connections: CT across Subjects at Middle Stage

      This domain covers how Computational Thinking is woven into Mathematics, Science, Social Sciences and language teaching at the Middle Stage (Classes 6-8), and how the two cross-subject projects bring CT and AI together. CBSE made it sub-theme 4 of the 2026-27 training theme (Notification TRG-02) bec

  3. Week 3

    Week 3

    1. AI in Real-World Contexts

      AI in Real-World Contexts is sub-theme 5 of the seven teacher-training sub-themes CBSE notified in TRG-02 (dated 09-Apr-2026) for the new Computational Thinking and AI curriculum, which rolls out for Classes 3-8 in session 2026-27. It covers what the syllabus actually asks students to learn about AI

    2. Assessment and Pedagogy in CT and AI

      Assessment and Pedagogy in CT and AI is sub-theme 6 of the seven training sub-themes CBSE notified in TRG-02 (dated 09 April 2026) to accompany the new Computational Thinking and AI curriculum for Classes 3-8, effective session 2026-27. The stakes are structural: the curriculum's activity-based teac

    Week 4

    1. Ethics and Responsible use of AI

      Ethics and Responsible Use of AI is the seventh of the seven teacher-training sub-themes CBSE notified in TRG-02 (09-Apr-2026) for the 2026-27 session. It is the domain where you stop teaching what AI does and start teaching what it should do — privacy, bias, misinformation, accountability — through

Who teaches you

A voice tutor, one module at a time.

The self-paced route: the subject matter taught by the PrepGraph tutor, whenever you have time.

Explain, then prove it: when you are stuck the tutor shows the worked step, then asks you to do the next one yourself; when you are close, it asks before it tells.

  • One theme per module.

    Each module takes one theme from the syllabus on this page and works through it with you.

  • Self-paced.

    Short modules you can take one at a time, around a teaching week.

  • Designed around the CBSE curriculum.

    The content follows the CBSE computational thinking and AI curriculum for Classes 3 to 8. The certificate is issued by PrepGraph, which is not affiliated with, endorsed by or accredited by CBSE.

How it is judged

  • It is PrepGraph's voice tutor, and it says so — not a human teacher.
  • Mastery and the certificate are judged against fixed standards, never on the tutor's opinion.
  • The certificate records that you completed this course and passed its assessment. The certificate is issued by PrepGraph, which is not affiliated with, endorsed by or accredited by CBSE.
