CSpathshala is an Association for Computing Machinery India (ACM India) initiative to bring a modern computing curriculum to Indian schools.
Goal: Bring Computational Thinking to ALL schools in India by 2030.

CSpathshala West Bengal Region:
We wish to make West Bengal Region a leader in this initiative so that students from this zone are ready for the upcoming AI age (that demand skills based on computational thinking) and perform better in National & International CS and Math Competitions.
Note: Computational Thinking is NOT learning a programming language - it is solving any problem algorithmically.
