Why schools need this now
Mandatory
CBSE made Computational Thinking a required subject for Classes 3–8 from 2026–27.
50 hrs/yr
Schools must deliver CT hours every year, but the timetable is already full.
5–15 min
AICUMEN fits inside the lesson you already teach. No extra period required.
How it works
No new timetable slot. No extra training day. Just a spark at the end of the lesson you were already teaching.
- 1
Teach your normal chapter
Fractions, number lines, a Poorvi story, a science experiment: whatever is on today's plan.
- 2
Pick the matching topic
Open AICUMEN, select your subject and chapter. The right Socratic sparks load instantly.
- 3
Run a Socratic spark
The prompt coach feeds you the next question at exactly the right moment. Students construct the rule themselves.
Live in the classroom
The Socratic Prompt Coach
Your tablet shows the problem and the next question to ask. The class sees only the problem on the board. Students construct the rule themselves. You never hand them the answer.
- Ordered prompts: Notice → Name → Apply → Generalise
- “If stuck” hints and “don't say” guardrails on every step
- Log observations as you circulate: Answer, Rule, or Teach
Messi's Goal Pattern
1, 2, 4, 7, 11. What comes next?
Ask this now
“By how much does it grow each time? Let's look at the gaps.”
If student is stuck
“What's 2 minus 1? Now 4 minus 2?”
Don't say
The answer or “correct”. Make them state the rule.
Built for the classroom, not the screen
Everything a mentor needs to run rigorous Socratic CT without a separate AI period or per-student devices.
AI Socratic Prompt Coach
Ordered prompts guide you step by step: what to ask, when to push, and what never to say aloud.
Observation Journal
Log whether each student found the answer, the rule, or can teach it. Your CBSE assessment record.
Facilitator Certification
Train mentors in the Socratic method: never give answers, climb the question ladder, read misconceptions.
Multi-modal & unplugged
Run problems on paper, hop a number line, draw rangoli, or act it out. No devices required in class.
Four subject packs
Maths, English, Science, and Social Studies, each mapped to CBSE chapters and CT skills.
Skill-gated progression
Levels, tiers, and badges that motivate students while keeping pace with demonstrated thinking.
The AICUMEN difference
Most edtech hands students answers. AICUMEN hands teachers better questions.
The screen is a question engine and an observation tool. Never an answer key on display.
