As we participate in the digital revolution, we need to train our children on skills for the digital age. Computational thinking (CT) has been recognized as one of the key 21st century skills and involves understanding a problem, designing a solution and expressing it in a form that a human or a machine can execute. CT has been introduced into the mainstream curricula in many countries and India has joined them. The National Education Policy 2020 recommends that mathematical and computational thinking will be given increased emphasis through a variety of innovative methods, including the regular use of puzzles and games that make mathematical thinking more enjoyable and engaging.
CSpathshala  is an Association for Computing Machinery India (ACM India) initiative to bring a modern computing curriculum to Indian schools.

Our Mission

To prepare our students to participate creatively in the digital age, CSpathshala proposes an activity based unplugged Computational thinking curriculum for primary and secondary schools.

 

Highlights:

  • Computational Thinking curriculum – Teaching computing without computers
  • Community created teaching aids: 200 lessons, provided at no cost to schools
  • Subset of teaching aids translated into Gujarati, Hindi & Marathi
  • 30,000 schools in Tamil Nadu learning Computational thinking as part of math curriculum
  • 300,000+ additional students from 11 states, 1200 schools. This includes 425 residential schools from AP social welfare, tribal welfare Gurukulams and Ashrams.
  • 12,000 teachers have participated in our free webinars, awareness workshop and training programs
  • Volunteers: 400+ from 4 continents!

What Teachers are Saying

All our students are taking the Bebras challenge but very surprising and happy realisation is that some students who never complete any subject work or are very very casual about studies were also giving test with full concentration and gave the feed back that the test was very interesting.
