CBSE AI Curriculum 2026–27
Class 6 AI — what your 11-year-old will learn.
Class 6 is the year when AI stops being a magic box. Children learn what an AI model actually is, how neural networks vote, why models overfit, and what happens when a system memorises instead of learns. The Responsible AI strand introduces deepfakes and the FAT framework — Fairness, Accountability, Transparency. By the end, students build their own no-code AI projects.
Pedagogy
Inside the black box. Class 6 opens the AI model itself — what's in there, why it learns, and what can go wrong.
Assessment
Multi-dimensional — written tests + journals + practical exams + peer evaluations + interdisciplinary projects, balancing theory with real-world application.
The four strands of Class 6 AI
CBSE organises each grade's AI curriculum into four strands. Here are Class 6's.
Strand A
Inside the Black Box
Strand B
Bias Audits & Responsible AI
Strand C
Building with No-Code AI
Strand D
AI, Jobs, Futures
What your child will learn
- ✓ What an AI model is — and why it's not a database
- ✓ Neural networks, layers, training vs. testing data
- ✓ Overfitting, underfitting, and why simpler is often better
- ✓ Supervised, unsupervised, and reinforcement learning
- ✓ Deepfakes — what they are, why they matter, and how to spot them
- ✓ Building a chatbot, an image classifier, and a voice assistant — without code
Key concepts — explained for Class 6
Each of these is a real Dhee session — written for parents, mapped to the CBSE strand.
What is an AI model? Explained for Class 6 kids
An AI model is not a database — it's a compressed summary of patterns. Here's why that matters.

Spark teaches Class 6 AI the way it should be taught.
Dhee doesn't hand out answers. For each Class 6 concept, Spark asks questions, listens to your child, and probes their reasoning — exactly the spirit of the CBSE syllabus, but in 15-minute spoken sessions at home.
Common questions about Class 6 AI
What does the CBSE AI curriculum cover in Class 6? +
Class 6 is the year when AI stops being a magic box.

How is AI taught in Class 6? +
Real-world problem analysis, collaborative group work, hands-on with TensorFlow Playground, Teachable Machine, and MIT App Inventor. Heavy on projects.
Is there an exam for AI in Class 6? +
Multi-dimensional — written tests + journals + practical exams + peer evaluations + interdisciplinary projects, balancing theory with real-world application.
How can my child practise CBSE AI Class 6 at home? +
Dhee is a voice-first AI Socratic tutor whose syllabus mirrors the CBSE Class 6 AI strands. Your child can work through each concept in 15-minute sessions — Dhee asks questions and listens, instead of handing out answers.
