👉 Students learn AI through real-life examples and interactive activities

🤖 MODULE 2 — Domains of AI

• Data (how AI learns from data)
• Computer Vision (images & cameras)
• Natural Language Processing (chatbots, voice assistants)

👉 These are the 3 core domains of AI taught at school level

🔄 MODULE 3 — AI Project Cycle (CORE MODULE)

👉 MOST IMPORTANT PART

• Problem Identification
• Data Collection
• Data Analysis
• Model Creation (basic idea)
• Evaluation

👉 This teaches students how real AI systems are built step-by-step

📊 MODULE 4 — Data Literacy (VERY IMPORTANT)

• What is data
• Types of data
• Data collection methods
• Charts & graphs
• Basic interpretation

👉 AI learning strongly depends on understanding and working with data

🧮 MODULE 5 — Maths for AI (Basic)

• Average, mean, basic statistics
• Patterns & logic
• Probability (basic understanding)

👉 Maths is introduced to support AI thinking and analysis

💡 MODULE 6 — Introduction to Generative AI
