Program Implementation

Grade 5-9 students with a very basic understanding of computers can join Level I. Baseline and Endline Assessment will be done at the start and end of the course for e-certification. Classes will comprise teaching sessions which will be conducted on alternate days and practice sessions need to be carried by students on their own.

Baseline Assessment → Teaching Session x 10 → Practice Session x 10 → Endline Assessment

Students completing Level I will be eligible to proceed with Level II. Level I and Level II are two separate courses, but sequential in nature.
