The programme will combine learning, mentoring and recognition. The board will conduct these camps for Classes 9 and 10 in four phases — September 1-17, October 6-17, November 3-18 and December 1-16.

All schools have been asked to register students, who are advised to join using a device for hands-on activities. Access links will be sent to registered email IDs, and a dedicated CBSE email has been provided for further support.

“The CBSE AI bootcamps will be seamlessly integrated into the learning schedules of both students and teachers as an extension programme after regular hours,” said Deepika Thapar Singh, CEO-Principal of Credence High School.

Singh explained that teachers will participate from 1.30-4.30 pm as part of their professional development framework, while students will join from 2.30-4.30 pm, directly after school ends at 2.10 pm.
