CBSE : Skills Build Program & Orientation Session on Generative AI in collaboration with IBM

CBSE/SE/JS/AI/2023

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has rapidly evolved from a futuristic concept to a ubiquitous technology that impacts our daily lives. Thus, creating a need for the youth to understand AI’s importance and responsible usage.

CBSE aims not merely to produce students with technical proficiency in AI, but to nurture them as problem solvers who can innovatively apply AI to address real-world issues and also to support schools to facilitate building an AI mindset in students to prepare them for future job opportunities.

With this goal, CBSE in support with IBM offers a gamified learning path for students to learn about the recent advances in generative AI through Digital Credentials on the IBM Skills Build platform and hands- on challenges. A detailed roadmap of the program is annexed.

A number of exciting opportunities await the students. Students obtaining their Digital Credentials on Skills Build will be eligible to participate in the Future Tech Olympiad taking place in September-October 2023 to win medals and certificates and the Future Tech Imagination Challenge in November 2023 to win a virtual internship experience.
