3. why
need to emphasize on concepts and nurture thinking skills
‣ We feel that in today’s scenario,
there is a proliferation of
Education related
materials.There is a lot of
sensible content present but at
the same time there is an
overdose of information in many
forms. As a result child and the
teacher are overwhelmed and
confused.

‣ We believe that there is a need
to present content in a way that
is simple, yet very engaging
manner. There is a need to
emphasize concepts and nurture
thinking skills rather than
memorization of information.
!
‣ We believe that in the
information age, it is important
that we equip the students with
the right combination of
cognitive skills (thinking),
behavioral (life skills or the 21
century skills) and attitude (self
learning abilities).

but
first
lets
answer
some
frequently
asked
ques=ons
‣ Why so much emphasis on Computer
Science?primarily because of 2 reasons:
- Computer Science as a subject is indeed
engaging and there is absolutely no
problem addressing attention Span issues.
- Also, strong Computer Skills can facilitate
other subjects really well.
!
We believe In the information age, it is important
that we equip the students with the right
combination of cognitive (thinking), behavioral (life
skills or the 21st century skills) and attitude (self
learning abilities).
‣ What is InOpen’s relation with IIT Bombay?Computer Masti is a collaborative
product from InOpen Technologies and IIT Bombay. InOpen Technologies is incubated
in SINE (Society for Innovation and Entrepreneurship), IIT Bombay
‣ How Can Computer Masti be implemented in School?
‣ When a school expresses their interest to implement Computer Masti,
‣ An Education officer from InOpen visits the school. to understand the curriculum,
instruction material in use, infrastructure available, students’ current exposure to
Computer Science, teacher qualifications and skills, management’s vision, etc are
thoroughly studied. On the basis of this, we suggest a roadmap to implement Computer
Masti across different grades.
‣ We provide core curriculum learning materials or even customize Computer Science
course books as per client requirements.
In case you are interested to implement CM in your school, you can get in touch with the sales
team at InOpen Technologies at +91-96196-09509 or http://computermasti.in/contactus.html
