The project uses Google's open-weight Gemma models (gemma-4-26b-a4b-it and gemma-4-31b-it) with low-temperature settings and pedagogical blueprint prompts to keep generated content aligned with NCERT chapters, and was submitted to the Hacktoberfest Weekend Challenge.", "body_md": "This is a submission for the [Hacktoberfest Weekend Challenge: Build for a Friend](https://dev.to/challenges/hacktoberfest-weekend-2026-10-01)\n\n**## What I Built 🎓✨**\n\nI built CurriculumCraft AI for my friend who teaches high school (CBSE Grades 9–12) in India. \n\nTeachers spend hours every weekend formatting exam papers and calculating question weightages. CurriculumCraft AI automates this in seconds by generating:\n\n**## Demo 🌐\n\n[https://github.com/Naitik-xd/CurriculumCraft-AI](https://github.com/Naitik-xd/CurriculumCraft-AI)\n\n**## How I Built It 🛠️🤖**\n\n`gemma-4-26b-a4b-it` & `gemma-4-31b-it`).` 0.2`) and pedagogical blueprint prompts ensure strict factual alignment with NCERT chapters.\n**## Why Does Open Innovation Matter? **🌍💡\n\nClosed commercial APIs are cost-prohibitive for educators and lock pedagogical tools behind paywalls. Open-weight models like Gemma democratize high-quality educational AI, allowing developers to build free, privacy-friendly, and transparent tools that teachers can actually rely on without vendor lock-in.\n\n**## Prize Categories 🏆**\n\n", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/curriculumcraftai-submission-for-launch-weekend-dev-challenge", "canonical_source": "https://dev.to/hinaitikdev/curriculumcraftai-submission-for-launch-weekend-dev-challenge-1cdc", "published_at": "2026-10-03 06:35:37+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-10-03 06:37:42.450986+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["generative-ai", "ai-tools", "large-language-models", "ai-products"], "entities": ["CurriculumCraft AI", "Gemma", "Google", "NCERT", "CBSE", "Hacktoberfest", "DEV Community"], "also_reported_by": [], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/curriculumcraftai-submission-for-launch-weekend-dev-challenge", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/curriculumcraftai-submission-for-launch-weekend-dev-challenge.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/curriculumcraftai-submission-for-launch-weekend-dev-challenge.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/curriculumcraftai-submission-for-launch-weekend-dev-challenge.jsonld"}}
