CBSE AI Curriculum 2026–27
Class 4 AI — what your 9-year-old will learn.
Class 4 introduces the most important word in AI: data. Children learn to count, group, and reason about the information that flows through their lives — and to notice when that information is incomplete, biased, or unsafe to share. The privacy strand is especially relevant for Indian parents: this is where digital citizenship begins.
Pedagogy
Building on Class 3 — children begin to handle data, classify with reasons, and notice when things go wrong.
Assessment
Continuous and qualitative. Worksheets, group projects, and teacher observation — no formal exam.
The four strands of Class 4 AI
CBSE organises each grade's AI curriculum into four strands. Here are Class 4's.
Strand A
What is Data?
Strand B
Classification & Features
Strand C
Garbage In, Garbage Out
Strand D
Digital Footprints & Privacy
What your child will learn
- ✓ What data is, and where AI's data comes from
- ✓ How to classify — and why a tomato can be both a fruit and a vegetable
- ✓ Why bad data leads to bad AI, and how to spot it
- ✓ What personal information is, and the difference between sharing and being shared
Key concepts — explained for Class 4
Each of these is a real Dhee session — written for parents, mapped to the CBSE strand.
