Computer Science, Robotics & AI

وصف الدرس

Overview
Computer Science, Robotics and AI is a future-focused course for teens aged 13–17, combining coding, automation, and ethical tech development.

About the course

Students explore fundamental concepts in coding, robotics, and artificial intelligence through hands-on challenges and ethical inquiry. Covering areas from machine learning and cybersecurity to app development and automation, they develop technical fluency, critical thinking, and the capacity to design responsible digital solutions.

The programme emphasises innovation, teamwork, and practical impact, preparing students to navigate and lead in a rapidly evolving technological landscape. Across each two-week Sprint, students tackle five challenges connected to the Sprint’s central theme, exploring topics such as machine learning, robotics, cybersecurity, app development, and ethical AI. The final challenge, the IMPACT Hackathon, brings together students in small, mixed teams from across the courses. They apply the knowledge, skills, and perspectives gained throughout the Sprint to address pressing global issues, guided by the three pillars of sustainability; social, environmental, and economic.

This experience enables students to contribute meaningfully, share their insights, and present their work with clarity and confidence.
