kerala: Kerala leads in Artificial Intelligence, coding for children

KOCHI: Kerala could claim the title of being the first state where IT coding was first introduced into the curriculum of one of its schools, right from Class I onwards. Dayapuram Residential School in Kattangal, Kozhikode, was the first school that started coding sessions and classes on Artificial Intelligence (AI) for kids at a very young age. The firm behind the achievement is a Kerala-based startup Cyber Square, now based out of London. Founded by NIT alumni N P Haris, Cyber Square introduced the coding concept from Grade 1 and Artificial Intelligence from Grade 2 in India. It also focuses on teaching other skills like data science, 3D printing, etc., starting from Grade 1.
