What Class 3 usually covers in computers

In most CBSE and ICSE schools, Class 3 computer lessons cover computer basics: parts of a computer, the keyboard and mouse, and simple drawing or typing software. Formal programming usually hasn't started yet.

School curricula vary, so check your school's syllabus for specifics. CodingChamp is not affiliated with any board.
