Practising at home — the way the curriculum was meant to be learned.
The CBSE AI curriculum is designed around discussion, questioning, and understanding — not rote answers. That's exactly how Dhee teaches. Every concept on these pages is an actual Dhee session: 15 minutes of voice or text, where Dhee asks questions, listens, and helps your child think.

When does the new CBSE AI curriculum start? +
The CBSE Computational Thinking and AI curriculum for Classes 3–8 begins in academic year 2026–27. Classes 3–5 receive 50 hours per year embedded in Mathematics and The World Around Us. Classes 6–8 receive 100 hours per year — 40 hours of Computational Thinking, 20 hours of AI, and 40 hours of project work.
Will there be a formal exam for AI in Classes 3–5? +
No formal exam. Assessment is continuous and qualitative for Classes 3–5 — based on worksheets, group activities, and teacher observation. Classes 6–8 use a multi-dimensional assessment that includes written tests, journals, practical exams, peer evaluations, and projects.
Is the CBSE AI curriculum free to access? +
Yes. CBSE has stated that all learning material will be available free on the official CBSE portal and on DIKSHA, India's national digital education platform. Schools that adopt the curriculum will integrate it into existing periods.
What does the AI curriculum cover at each grade level? +
Class 3 covers patterns, algorithms, and what makes something 'smart'. Class 4 introduces data, classification, and digital privacy. Class 5 covers decision trees, prediction, prompting AI, and AI fairness. Class 6 opens the AI model itself — neural networks, training, bias audits, and no-code AI building. Class 7 introduces systems thinking, Python, large language models, and a full capstone project.
How can my child learn the CBSE AI curriculum at home? +
Dhee is a voice-first AI Socratic tutor whose curriculum is mapped to the CBSE Class 3–7 AI strands. Your child can practise each concept in 15-minute spoken sessions — Dhee asks questions, listens, and probes their understanding rather than handing out answers.
