Kuwait Center Runs STEM Robotics Workshops in Oman
The Sabah Al-Ahmad Center for Giftedness and Creativity hosts hands-on technology and engineering workshops at the Oman Science Festival 2026.
Updated on Nov. 5, 2026 in Mathematics
The Sabah Al-Ahmad Center for Giftedness and Creativity is running workshops on technology, artificial intelligence, and engineering at the Oman Science Festival 2026 in Muscat. The workshops are held in cooperation with the Kuwait Foundation for the Advancement of Sciences as part of its pavilion in the KFAS section.
Why it matters
The workshops give visitors direct, hands-on exposure to robotics and engineering design. They reflect a regional effort to build science and technology skills through public events.

The players
Sabah Al-Ahmad Center for Giftedness and Creativity
A Kuwaiti center focused on developing gifted students and creative thinking through science, technology, and engineering programs.
Kuwait Foundation for the Advancement of Sciences (KFAS)
A Kuwait-based foundation that promotes scientific research and education and runs science outreach initiatives across the region.
The details
Visitors at the center's pavilion build modular robots that perform different functions. The pavilion also hosts a STEM Racing workshop, part of a global education program endorsed by Formula 1, in which visitors assemble paper cars and test them in a wind tunnel.
Timeline
The workshops take place during the Oman Science Festival 2026 in Muscat.
Roadmap
Hands-on engineering programs such as STEM Racing, which is endorsed by Formula 1, are being used to teach design and testing skills to young learners. This Kuwaiti workshop extends that approach across a regional festival in Oman.
Families interested in hands-on engineering can look for similar robotics and STEM Racing activities at local science events. Participation in such workshops builds practical problem-solving skills that carry into school and career planning.
The takeaway
Hands-on activities such as building robots and testing paper cars in a wind tunnel show how engineering design can be learned through play. Parents and educators can seek out comparable local STEM programs to encourage similar skills.
