SUMMER HOLIDAY HOMEWORK 2023-24

CLASS - X
“Hold yourself responsible for a higher standard than
anybody else expects of you.” - Henry Ward Beecher
Dear Students,
Summer vacation is something you eagerly await each year. This year your travelling may be
curtailed but here are some suggested activities to keep you engaged, enhance your knowledge and be
productive.
• Watch some critically acclaimed movies and read good books by different authors. One such book
you all must read is the classic “A Tale of Two Cities” by Charles Dickens. It’s available free
online.
• Read the newspapers on a daily basis to remain updated and aware.
• Practice some caring and sharing. Reach out with a helping hand to those in need.
• Be sensitive to the needs of the creatures around you. A bowl of fresh water and food for birds
and animals everyday would make a world of difference to them. Make it a daily habit.
• Maintain a diary of your reflections on these. It will remind you of the small things that brought
you happiness and the learning that happened.
• Take good care of yourself. Be physically active. Eat well and drink plenty of fluids.

Have a restful vacation!

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
Over the past few decades, technology has been developing very fast and one of the things that has everyone either
captivated or even a bit scared is artificial intelligence. Artificial intelligence is one of the many branches of
computer science. It is used to build intelligent computers capable of performing tasks that would typically require
human intelligence; that is, it is a simulation of human intelligence, and these machines are programmed to think and
act like humans. Speech recognition, decision-making, and visual perception are some features that an ‘AI’ would
possess. The main goal of artificial intelligence has always been for these machines to be able to learn, reason, and
perceive as human beings without any human help.
These days, AI is more common than one may think, as it is being used worldwide across multiple industries,
including health care and finance. Intelligent assistants like Alexa and Siri, self-driving cars, conversational
bots, email spam filters, and Netflix’s recommendations are some examples of artificial intelligence, so it
would be safe to say that one may contact an AI daily.
Students must do the research in A.I and apply their creativity to Make chart or Make a model on any
one of the topics:
 AI Domains - Machine Learning, Deep Learning, Natural Language Processing, Computer Vision,
Data Science
 AI Applications
 AI Ethics
SOCIAL SCIENCE
