Foreword
Standing at the forefront of the digital and AI revolution, the importance of coding and computational skills has reached unprecedented heights. In today’s professional landscape, whether it’s in the fields of medicine, space exploration, education, science, or business, no sector remains untouched by this transformative wave. To not just survive but thrive in the 21st century, basic computer literacy is no longer sufficient. Learners must evolve into “digital natives” who can fluently read, write, and communicate in the languages that machines and AI comprehend. Recognizing this imperative, the National Education Policy of 2020 (NEP 2020) has strongly recommended the integration of coding skills, computational thinking, critical analysis, and problem-solving abilities into the curriculum. Moreover, forward-looking subjects like AI, Data Sciences, Computer Applications, and IT have been introduced as elective subjects from grade 9 onwards. It wouldn’t be surprising if further transformative measures are taken even at the elementary education level. Uolo has introduced an innovative 360-degree program for a coding-focused computer science curriculum, known as Tekie, spanning grades 1 to 8. Tekie is a significant stride towards STEM education that aims at making learners future ready—enabling them with skills needed in the ever-changing, technology-driven, and dynamic 21st-century world. Tekie adopts a captivating and engaging approach to learning, in line with the recommendations of the NEP 2020. The curriculum is ingeniously woven into the thrilling adventures of Mel and Conji, fictional characters from the enchanting land of Avora. The Mel and Conji series epitomizes a modern method of acquiring Computer Science knowledge and honing coding skills and computational thinking. Tekie is a technology-empowered curriculum that encompasses a few key components: • • • •
Main Content Books: These introduce learners to the theory of computer science and the tools used in the field. Topics in AI are also covered, along with experiential and curiosity-based learning resources. Coding Book: Specifically designed to nurture coding skills, this booklet aligns with the experiential and contextual learning approach of the curriculum, fostering critical thinking and problem-solving abilities.
Animated Learning Videos: The program is powered by high-quality animation-based learning videos that deliver learning in an engaging manner. Teacher Manual: This valuable resource supports classroom instruction, ensuring that educators can effectively deliver the curriculum.
Welcome to the captivating realm of Tekie! We hope you relish this educational journey as it equips you with the tools you need to thrive in the exciting and ever-changing world of the 21st century.

Computer Mouse Do you like to read? I like to read books. While reading, I sometimes get lost in the words. To avoid this, my teacher has asked me to point to the words with my finger or with a pencil. In the same way, we use the computer mouse to point on the screen. A computer mouse is a pointing device that is used to point on the computer screen. Did You Know?
The mouse was invented by Douglas Engelbart in the 1960s.

Keyboard We write on paper with pencil. We write words and sentences.
What if we want words and sentences on the computer? How can we write on a computer? A keyboard is a part of the computer that helps us write on it. We use the keys on the keyboard to write what we want.
Writing on the computer using a keyboard is called typing. But how do we know where we are typing?
Did You Know?
A standard keyboard has 104 keys on it.
We have a blinking line on the screen! This blinking line is called a cursor. The cursor helps us to know where we can type on the screen. Chapter 6 • Using a Keyboard

Now, let us learn about the different types of keys.
Alphabet Keys We have 26 letters in the English alphabet. For each letter of the alphabet, we have one key on the keyboard. These keys are called alphabet keys. We can use these keys to type words and sentences on a computer. Alphabet keys

Arrow Keys We have four arrow keys: up arrow key, down arrow key, right arrow key, and left arrow key.
Arrow keys
We use the left arrow key to move the cursor left. We use the right arrow key to move the cursor right. We use the up arrow key to move the cursor up. We use the down arrow key to move the cursor down.
Special Keys There are some special keys on a keyboard. Let us learn about them. Spacebar: The Spacebar helps us to make a space between two words. Pressing the Spacebar once makes the cursor move one place. In this way, a space is created every time the Spacebar key is pressed. The Spacebar is the largest key on the keyboard.

Enter: The Enter key helps us to go to the next line while typing. The cursor goes to the next line when we press Enter.

Backspace: We could sometimes make mistakes while typing. The backspace key helps us to erase those mistakes. On pressing the backspace key, the letter or the number before the cursor is erased. Backspace

Introduction to Robots We love toy stores. Playing with toys is so much fun. We see many toys around us, like cars, rockets, and dolls. Do you know there are toys that look like people? These toys can walk on their own. Sometimes, they can talk too. These are called ‘robots’. Let us learn more about robots. A robot is a machine that can do things on its own. Robots can be of many types. We have robots that look like animals. Some can even look very strange. Some robots can move around. Some robots can pick things up. Some robots help with cleaning. Some robots can even talk to us.

But how can robots do all this? Let us learn how robots work.
Introduction to AI Robots work on artificial intelligence, or AI. Humans can do many things. They can talk to each other. They can answer questions. They can do things that they are told to do. They can do things on their own, too. Humans are intelligent. 90
UT24CB_G1.indb 90
11/16/2023 1:08:43 PM
Similarly, some machines can also do these things. They can talk to us. They can solve problems for us. This makes these machines intelligent too. But remember, machines are human-made. So this type of intelligence is also human-made. This type of human-made intelligence is called artificial intelligence, or AI. AI helps some robots to walk on their own. AI also helps some robots to talk to us. Did You Know?
There are robots that help doctors provide care for a patient.
