Designed for participants with limited exposure to computers, coding or AI, the programme follows a hands-on, application-oriented approach. Teachers will learn through tasks linked to their everyday academic and administrative responsibilities, including preparing notices and lessons, creating marksheets and presentations, conducting assessments and developing digital teaching resources. The training will cover the fundamentals of computers and digital tools, including operating systems, MS Office, Google Workspace, digital communication, cybersecurity, and digital citizenship. It will also introduce them to block-based programming through Scratch, basic Python, AI and EdTech tools. . The programme also covers robot assembly and sensor-based activities, followed by a robotics challenge designed to encourage problem-solving and inquiry-based learning.
