Introduction
On Tuesday, August 22, 2023, Kerala inaugurated its first AI school, named the AI School, at Santhigiri Vidyabhavan, Pothencode, Thiruvananthapuram. The former President of India, Ram Nath Kovind, inaugurated the school..
The AI School is designed and molded by one of the world’s most advanced educational platforms, iLearning Engines USA, in collaboration with Vedhik eSchool, managed by a committee of veteran professionals including former chief secretaries, DGPs and vice-chancellors.
The school aims to provide students with international standard and quality learning opportunities in artificial intelligence (AI) with the help of artificial intelligence technology. It will offer a hybrid learning model, with students able to learn online or in person.
A Glimpse into the Future of Learning
This pioneering AI-focused center has been meticulously crafted in collaboration with iLearning Engines USA, a globally renowned educational platform known for its advanced teaching methodologies. The venture is further enriched through the partnership with Vedhik eSchools, a beacon of educational excellence.
The AI School will initially be available to students studying in classes 8 to 12. The school will offer a variety of courses in AI, including machine learning, natural language processing, and computer vision. The school will also offer coaching for competitive exams in AI, such as the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) and the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET).
The AI School is a significant step forward in Kerala’s efforts to promote education in artificial intelligence. The school is expected to help students develop the skills they need to succeed in the AI-driven economy.
George Sebastian, Director, Vedhik eSchools, mentioned that our coaching program will cover 580 competitive exams, including the YPP UN Civil Service exam, which many Malayalis are unfamiliar with.
Participating in the YPP could enable them to earn a stipend of Rs 5 lakh during the internship and secure a well-paying position in the UN service later on.
Our objective is to offer cost-effective coaching that employs a three-pronged approach to teaching each subject: class-based instruction, general knowledge enhancement, and targeted preparation for competitive exams.
Unleashing the Potential of AI
Artificial Intelligence, often abbreviated as AI, is a technology that mimics human cognitive functions such as learning and problem-solving. In this context, the AI-focused center opens doors to a myriad of possibilities for students.
It introduces them to a world where they can unravel the mysteries of machine learning, explore the realms of data analytics, and comprehend the intricacies of automation.
