ALLEN IntelliBrain

What ALLEN IntelliBrain is

ALLEN IntelliBrain is the children's learning arm of ALLEN Career Institute Pvt. Ltd. Its FAQ calls it "the Early Childhood Development Initiative of ALLEN Career Institute Pvt. Ltd., that aims to induce Well Balanced Brain Development and World-Class Learning in the students of classes HKG to 8th." The footer gives the institute's address in Kota, India. IntelliBrain runs several programs, including workbooks, STEM activity boxes, Olympiad preparation and live online workshops, and its coding classes are the part this entry covers in depth.

The coding classes are live, online and one to one. The coding page says "ALLEN IntelliBrain provides One-on-One Coding Classes to kids that allow them to learn at their own pace & grow their curiosity," and each course listing confirms the format: "Mode : Live Online," "Mentorship : One-On-One." Classes are taught bilingually, "Medium of Instructions : Bilingual (English-Hindi)," with study material in English. When parents register, the page promises they can "Start attending the Live Classes with your dedicated mentor."

How the coding program is organized

Parents pick a grade and then a course. The grade bands on the coding page are HKG, Classes 1 and 2, Classes 3 and 4, Classes 5 and 6, and Classes 7, 8 and above. The FAQ says "Kids can start coding as early as 6 years," and that the curriculum "is mapped to age & grade of the child to develop understanding from a basic to an Advanced Level." No previous knowledge is needed: the curriculum is designed "according to their age group and classes irrespective of what they have learned so far."

Four course tracks appear across the grades, each split into levels:

• Basic Programming, the starting point from HKG. Level 1 covers an introduction to coding, drag and drop, sprites and characters, motion and sequencing, with outcomes in the basics of mobiles, tablets and computers and of animation. Level 2 adds safe internet browsing, event handling, variables, conditional statements and math operators, leading to internet safety, advanced animation and basic game development.
• Mobile App Development, from Classes 3 and 4. The levels move through UI/UX design, multi-page apps, camera, images and sensors, then Google Maps, Firebase integration and APK creation, and on to "Dynamic UI Designing in MIT APP," extensions and Tiny DB. For older students, Level 2 adds JSON and third-party API integration and publishing apps.
• Web App & Game Development, from Classes 1 and 2. Early levels use Scratch extensions such as video sensing, text to speech and a translator. Higher levels cover sprites and collisions, velocity, databases, HTML & CSS, and finally P5.js with classes and objects, or Matter.js and a physics engine for 3D shapes and physics-based games.
• Data Science & AI, from Classes 5 and 6. Level 1 teaches Python basics, variables, branching, loops, turtle programming, lists, tuples, dictionaries, sets, functions and external libraries. Level 2 covers databases in Python, the basics of AI and ML, NumPy, Pandas, Matplotlib and OpenCV, with outcomes in data visualization and "Understanding Camera vision using Python."

The FAQ sums up the range: children begin with "Basic Programming, Web, App, Game & Animation Development," and at the advanced level learn "Programming Languages, Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning."

Levels, sessions and fees

Every session lasts "1 Hr/Session," and each level lists its number of sessions and a fee marked inclusive of GST, with a per-class figure beside it. The fees are printed as plain numbers with no currency symbol. A few examples from the coding page:

• Basic Programming Level 1: 8 sessions, fee 4500 (Inclusive GST), 562.50 per class. Level 2: 12 sessions, 6500. The Level 1 + Level 2 combo: 20 sessions, 10000, which works out at 500 per class on the page.
• Mobile App Development for the upper grades: Level 1, 12 sessions at 6500; Level 2, 20 sessions at 10500; Level 3, 32 sessions at 16000; all three as a combo, 64 sessions at 29500 (460.94 per class).
• Web App & Game Development for Classes 5 to 8: Level 1, 20 sessions at 10500; Level 2, 32 sessions at 16500; Level 3, 32 sessions at 17000; the three-level combo, 84 sessions at 38500 (458.33 per class).
• Data Science & AI: Level 1, 32 sessions at 17000; Level 2, 32 sessions at 17500; both levels, 64 sessions at 30500 (476.56 per class).

The combos, listed under "Super Saver Combo Programmes," carry a lower per-class figure than the single levels, as the examples above show. The FAQ notes that course length "varies from level opted, as each level has different learning outcomes & number of sessions are based on their difficulty."

Teaching, practice and certificates

The coding page lists the program's features: "Early Childhood Expert Trainers," training for safe internet browsing, understanding of hardware and of "various Coding Software & Platforms," "Real Life Relevance of Coding," "Assessment Reports" and "Certification at every level." The FAQ describes the trainers as "Childhood Development and Pedagogy Experts of ALLEN" who aim to "Boost their IQ, Develop Scientific Reasoning, Critical thinking skills & ultimately develop Love for Learning in them."

Learning continues between classes. "Regular Practice Material is provided which gives kids a Hands-on learning experience even after sessions," and "Assessments are also a part of each level in the course to test the knowledge of the students for which results are being shared with parents." The FAQ advises practicing "minimum of one hour per day." On completion, "Every kid is entitled to receive a Certificate of Successful Course Completion for each level of Coding Classes from ALLEN IntelliBrain."

IntelliBrain ties its approach to India's National Education Policy 2020, saying coding "has been included in National Education Policy, 2020 as one of the most important fields of learning to develop skills of the 21st Century in kids, such as Creativity, Computational Thinking & Problem-Solving." It describes its general method as "Experimental, Experiential and Edutaining."

The wider IntelliBrain program

Beyond coding, the home page lists Skoolplus Workbooks, the Intelli SmartBox of DIY STEM activities, Olympiad preparation for exams such as SOF Olympiad, IMO, NSO and IEO, and live online workshops. The FAQ mentions Intelli Homeschooling, "a year-long program from April - February," and short workshops in Vedic Maths, Sanskrit and Sanskaar, and Public Speaking. Its broader programs are recommended "for any kid between 4-15 yrs of age."

What families say

Mihika Kullu, in Class 4, writes: "My trainers gave me knowledge about games, animations and programming languages. I am glad that I made my own game 'Little Fairy's Adventure' and using my ideas & creativity." Naysha's mother (Grade 2) calls a personalized class "a great idea to teach the Kids the fundamentals of Coding and Programming in their comfort zone," and Aalisha's father (Grade 5) says enrolling her was "one of the nicest decisions."

Who it suits

ALLEN IntelliBrain suits parents who want a dedicated mentor for one child, a clear ladder of levels by grade, and a published fee for each level before they commit. The bilingual English-Hindi teaching helps families who want lessons in Hindi as well as English. The tracks reach well past block coding, into mobile apps with Firebase and APIs, P5.js and physics engines, and Python for data science and AI, so an older student has somewhere to go. Families should budget level by level: the longer tracks run to 64 or 84 sessions across three levels.
