Tamil Nadu launched the TN SPARK program to teach artificial intelligence and robotics in government schools. The state targets students from Classes 6 through 9 with this technological education initiative. Eighty-five government schools in Coimbatore district participate in the pilot phase during this academic year.
Mathematics and science teachers deliver lessons using bilingual textbooks written in English and Tamil. Schools dedicate one to two weekly periods for these technology classes. Students learn computer science fundamentals such as algorithms and data visualization through 880 high-tech laboratory computers.
The curriculum covers artificial intelligence applications like text-to-image generation and digital animation. Coding instruction uses beginner platforms such as Blockly and Scratch alongside basic HTML lessons. Teachers report that students prefer these technology sessions over traditional classroom instruction. The program prepares children from all economic backgrounds for future academic and career opportunities in the digital world.
