A covers Employability Skills, and Part B focuses on Subject-Specific Skills related to Artificial Intelligence.
Salient Features:
1. Concepts are presented in simple language for easy understanding.
2. Interactive activities, quizzes, and projects engage students and reinforce AI concepts.
3. Visuals enhance comprehension, creating an engaging learning experience.
4. Encourages critical thinking and responsible technology use.
5. Strictly follows syllabus and guidelines from the Department of Skill Education CBSE.
Structure of the Book:
1. Learning Outcomes: Clearly states what students will learn.
2. Introduction: Provides an overview of the unit's topic.
3. Session Breakdown: Splits the unit into sessions for easier learning. Self-Assessments are also included
according to sessions.
4. Knowledge facts: Shares interesting facts about the topic.
5. Questions Zone: In this section, various types of questions are given like, MCQ, Fill in the blanks,
True False, Match the following, Very Short Answer type Questions, Assertion Reasoning
based, Case/Source based Questions, Short and Long Answer type Questions, included with
answers.
6. Check Your Progress: Tests knowledge with different question types for practice.
