Two versions are available, one for grades K-2, and the other one for grades 3-5.

CGSLATE- Gamification of Learning- Making it Fun and Rewarding

CG Slate is not a game-based platform. It is instead a gamified platform. It focuses on the rules-experiences-achievements approach of a game and applies the same to learning to make it interesting for the child. It has animations, simulations of real life concepts, and interactive books that bring back play to education.

CG SLATE- Safety first approach with Restrictive Ecosystem and Advanced Parental Controls

CG Slate provides advanced parental control, with separate pins for parents and kids. This ensures that children are exposed to content appropriate for their age. Further, kids can enter the Android Zone only with the parent entering the parent pin and granting access.
CG SLATE- Learning Outcome-based with Automatic SMS/Email reports

CG Slate helps parents keep a track of their child’s learning outcomes with Data Analytics and Comprehensive Reporting. Learning outcomes can be measured through time spent per topic/subject, assessment results, subjects and chapters studied. Also, there are a number of filters available to find out the minutest details about the child’s performance.

CG SLATE- Economical Solution costing only Rs. 7500 (for 1st 1000 parents)
