Doha, Qatar: Studio 5/6, affiliated to the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology collaborated with the Youth Committee of Al Gharafa Sports Club, under the Ministry of Sports and Youth, to transform the digital landscape for Qatari youth through innovative technology training workshops.
These workshops were part of the “Our Gharrafi Summer” camp at Al Gharafa Sports Club. The initiative inspired and empowered participants aged 7 to 10 years by engaging them in a world where creativity, programming, and sports intersect.
By merging technology and sports, the workshops “Robot Soccer” and “Digital Triathlon” have enhanced critical thinking, problem-solving skills, and teamwork. The significance of having developed and enhanced these skills was evident as a role in shaping future leaders.
