from any discipline can engage in. It helps to build computational thinking, develop problem
solving skills, critical thinking and exposure to real life situations to solve issues in various
realms.
With an eye on such an aim, Coding is being introduced as a Skill Module of 12 hours duration
in classes 6 - 8. Technologies like AI, Data Science and Design, require specialized coding
skills that the students need to be aware of. In fact, many colleges recently have offered technical
degrees for profi ciency in AI. To summarise, coding is a skill that needs to be carried alongwith
every other kind of knowledge related to computer s cience.
So that the student is comfortable diving right into this development of skill, the series
Fun with Coding, classes 1—5 has been conceived. We have tried to cater to the industrial needs
required from a student. Programming concepts have been put forth in a graded manner in these
books. Concepts like Computer, Keyboard, Paint, Networking, Solving puzzles, Counting
squares, have been taught to bring knowledge to the students in a normal way. In higher classes,
algorithm, loops, specialized algorithms and Sudoku solution have been discussed.
Every chapter of these books contain the following:
• Do Yourself: This is a project given to students in a grade appropriate way. The student
will get a chance to implement his/her gained knowledge to solve an interesting problem.
• Let us Practice: After the discussion of concepts, the exercises part of the chapter has
been given. These questions include MCQs, Match the following columns and other
miscellaneous questions holding relevance to the concepts in the chapter.
• Activity Time: After every three chapters, from classes 1—5, an activity set of questions
have been given, which drives the students to objectively assess their own knowledge.
We hope that the matter laid down in these books will gain acceptance and relevance with the
times we are in. Any feedback on the books will be seen sincerely and gratefully.
