Assessment & Continuous Monitoring

The vision of Computer teaching in the state is around developing computational thinking and 21st-century skills among students and aligning with the vision of the curriculum we also designed Computational thinking-based assessments.

A significant milestone has been achieved in the state with the inaugural administration of a pre-test, marking the first-ever attempt to assess students' current computational thinking skills. This assessment holds importance as it plays a pivotal role in evaluating the curriculum's effectiveness in fostering computational thinking skills among students over the next two years.

A total of 90+ schools actively participated in this assessment. The assessment, comprising 20 multiple-choice questions, targeted four key computational thinking competencies: Abstraction, Decomposition, Algorithmic Thinking, and Pattern Recognition. With a mix of text- based and visual based questions ranging in difficulty, this comprehensive evaluation was conducted collaboratively in 22 schools by the Peepul team, while 69 schools independently administered the assessment and provided student responses. The fact that these many schools participated shows a strong commitment by the schools to helping students develop these important thinking skills.

Structured Capacity Building of Teachers

To equip teachers with the knowledge and skills required to impart the new curriculum to their peers and students, we are actively engaged in building the capacity of teachers through a series of training and continuous support. In terms of academic intervention, we are actively involved in designing content that aligns with the curriculum. Simultaneously, the model emphasizes teacher capacity building through virtual and in-person training sessions, covering both content and the pedagogy of teaching computer science. The primary objectives of these sessions were threefold: to instigate a paradigm shift in teachers' perspectives regarding the significance of digital literacy for students, introduce and provide training on block-based coding tools like Scratch Jr, and impart effective pedagogical strategies for teaching computer science in classrooms. The initial virtual training took the form of a summer coding camp, engaging 40 teachers during the summer break. This four-week- lon...

A simple multiplayer game using Scratch by MIT

A simple multiplayer game using Scratch by MIT Software: Scratch by MIT Code for each character: Working : The first player uses arrow keys to move the character, and the second player uses w and d keys. If the character touches the black color, then the character has to start again from the start. If he reaches the green portion, he wins! Photos: Videos: Result: A simple multiplayer game was made using Scratch software. Simple block coding was done by Soham and Shreyas. As of beginning, a single player game was created and then second character was added to make the game more interesting and competitive.

Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO)

Indian Space Research Organisation is the national space agency of India. Headquartered in Bangalore, established on 15 August 1969, under the chairman, Scientist Vikram Sarabhai. It performs tasks related to space based applications, space exploration and development of related technologies. In 1972, the Government of India set up the Department of Space (DOS). This department directly reports to Indian Prime Minister. ISRO works under the DOS. The Chairman of the ISRO is also the Secretary in the Department of Space. The Indian space programme was driven by the vision of Vikram Sarabhai, considered the father of the Indian space programme. ISRO Structure ISRO is managed by the Department of Space (DoS) of the Government of India. Secretariat of DOS and ISRO Headquarters are located at Antariksh Bhavan in Bangalore. Space scientist K. Sivan is the current chairman of ISRO. Important ISRO centres - Satish Dhawan Space...
