Designed for Classes 9 to 12
Right for their age and their board
Right for their age
UNESCO advises 13 as the minimum age for using AI chat tools on their own, and the main tools ask for a parent's permission under 18. So students watch AI on the trainer's screen, work on paper, and never create an account.

Student programme questions
What schools ask about the student sessions
Will this make students use AI more?
It teaches them when to use it, when to stop, and how to check it.
Will it improve marks?
We don't claim that. We measure whether students can spot an AI mistake and a scam, using an anonymous paper quiz at the start and end.
Can you run it for Class 10 or 12 during board preparation?
Yes. The sessions use questions from this term's syllabus. For Class 12, we suggest running it before pre-boards.
How many students at a time?
One class, up to 40 students, with their teacher present.
