The winds of change are sweeping across India’s education landscape. With project-based assessments becoming central to the new academic framework, schools are seeking tools that can nurture curiosity, build independent thinkers, and make learning feel hands-on and meaningful.
AI Ready School is emerging as a catalyst in this transformation, offering a comprehensive platform that brings AI-powered research, creativity, and project-building into the heart of everyday learning. A recent pilot conducted at Aarambh School, Raipur demonstrates just how powerfully AI can amplify student learning when introduced with intention and purpose. Here is the TOI Article on How CBSE's new skill based learning for classes 6 to 8.
As part of the pilot project, the AI Ready School team conducted a two-day orientation for students. What unfolded was far more than an introduction to a new platform. It became a moment of awakening—an inspiring first step into a world where AI supports students not by providing answers, but by guiding them toward discovering their own.
One student remarked during the orientation:
“It feels like the AI isn’t telling me what to do—it’s helping me figure it out myself.”
Students explored the platform with genuine enthusiasm, uncovering tools designed to elevate their inquiry, note-taking, content organization, and presentation-building workflows
A standout moment was the introduction of Agent Buddy. Students quickly connected with it because the tool:
• Encouraged them to think independently
• Helped them ask deeper, more meaningful questions
• Sparked creative brainstorming
• Guided them without giving away answers
Instead of merely providing information, Agent Buddy pushed students to develop their own ideas. This shift—from passive learning to active exploration—is exactly what project-based assessments require.
The enthusiasm students displayed reaffirmed a core belief of AI Ready School:
Education is most powerful when curiosity is nurtured and learners are guided to discover their own creative potential.”
Following the orientation, the school initiated a full week of dedicated Research Lab Sessions, where students were given structured access to the platform.
Inside these sessions, the classroom felt different—more active, more investigative, more alive. Students:
✔ Conducted research using Agent Buddy
✔ Asked purposeful questions and followed threads of exploration
✔ Organized ideas using Canvas, a space to collect notes, information, and references
✔ Brainstormed approaches and project angles
✔ Started shaping their final presentations for the upcoming project showcase
One teacher observed:
“I’ve never seen students so eager to dive into research. They weren’t waiting for instructions—they were leading the process themselves.”
These sessions brought project-based learning from concept to practice. More importantly, they empowered students to take charge of their learning journey.
With research and preparation well underway, students are now getting ready for their final presentation day, where they will showcase their projects on stage. This phase is where the benefits of AI-assisted learning truly shine:
• Students have deeper understanding of their topics
• Their presentations are backed by structured research
• Their ideas are clearer and better developed
• Their confidence has grown because they shaped the work themselves
AI Ready School isn’t replacing student effort—it’s elevating it. As one student put it:
“I feel proud because this project is mine. The AI helped me, but I did the thinking.”
The pilot highlighted a crucial truth: technology, when thoughtfully integrated, doesn’t replace the human essence of learning—it amplifies it.
AI Ready School is uniquely positioned to help schools adapt to the new education paradigm by offering:
1. An ecosystem built for project-based learning
Every stage—research, ideation, organization, drafting, designing—is supported within a single platform.
2. AI-powered tools that build real skills
Curiosity, critical thinking, creativity, digital literacy, communication, and independent learning flourish when students interact with tools like Agent Buddy and Canvas.
3. Support for teachers and administrators
By streamlining research workflows, enabling guided exploration, and offering structured spaces for student work, the platform reduces administrative load while elevating learning quality.
4. Alignment with the national shift toward skill-based education
As CBSE prepares students for real-world problem-solving and application-based thinking, AI Ready School provides the technological backbone to make this transition seamless.
5. A replicable model for schools across India
This pilot demonstrates how any school can adopt AI-driven project-based learning without overwhelming teachers or students.
The pilot project shows how AI-driven platforms can seamlessly become part of school culture. The enthusiasm of the students, the structure provided by the tools, and the clarity of learning outcomes together paint a picture of what the next decade of education can look like.
What happened at Aarambh School is not an isolated success—it is a blueprint. Schools across India can replicate this model to:
• Empower learners
• Modernize classroom practice
• Meet national educational reforms
• Prepare students for a rapidly evolving world
A school leader at Aarambh reflected:
“This isn’t just about technology—it’s about giving students the confidence to think for themselves.”
The orientation, the lab sessions, the ongoing preparation, and the excitement among students demonstrate what is possible when AI is placed in the service of learning.
AI Ready School is not creating shortcuts for students—it is creating pathways.
• Pathways to curiosity.
• Pathways to independent thinking.
• Pathways to meaningful project-based learning.
This is only the beginning, and the future of education is already taking shape.
Explore how the AI Ready School ecosystem can help your institution embrace project-based learning and prepare students for the skills of tomorrow.
