According to the statement, the expanded module will enable students to develop complex computer applications incorporating advanced programming concepts like control conditions, variables, and functions.

One hundred Karnataka Residential Educational Institutions Society (KREIS) schools are all set to get advanced coding and artificial intelligence (AI) modules by Amazon.in. The company Monday announced the expansion of its Amazon Future Engineer (AFE) program. In an official statement, the company said that it will also provide digital infrastructure enhancements for 30 KREIS schools. "This expansion will impact over 13,000 students in grades six to eight across 30 districts of Karnataka," it further stated.

According to the statement, the expanded module will enable students to develop complex computer applications incorporating advanced programming concepts like control conditions, variables, and functions.

"Additionally, through project-based learning, students will also be introduced to the basics of AI with a further understanding of its relevance, future possibilities, and impact on their lives and the world around them," the statement added.

This programme will complement the current courses in coding, logical sequencing, learning loops, and block programming offered to KREIS schools under the Amazon Future Engineer programme, it was stated. The 20-hour module is designed to take into account the current exposure of students to computer science and coding. Class six students will be taught the fundamentals of block programming, while seventh and eighth graders will be introduced to advanced programming and the basics of AI, the statement added.
