Sharjah 24: The Machinery Design workshop at the 12th Sharjah Children’s Reading Festival 2021 (SCRF) is focused on teaching children the applications of STEM – Science, Technology, Engineering and Math – in gaming technology, which is opening up possibilities for children to explore and enhance their technological skills.
The workshop trainer explained that when children start getting exposed to technology at a younger age, they simultaneously learn how to apply their STEM knowledge, which turns the learning process into fun. Activities like this workshop build their confidence in non-traditional fields, which helps them take more informed university and career decisions.
At the Machine Design workshop the trainer will teach children how to build the Wire Game from scratch, and understand the science behind this popular game.
The trainer further explained that the workshop is an opportunity for children to understand the difference between a circuit and a closed circuit, how they can use electronic parts to build something, and most importantly, become the architects of one of their favourite games.
Themed ‘For Your Imagination,’ the Sharjah Children's Reading Festival runs daily from 4pm – 10pm, and 10am – 8pm on Saturdays, until May 29 in Expo Centre Sharjah. Along with 16 authors from the Arab region, 16 international authors are also taking part in the 11-day extravaganza which has offered young readers the opportunity to participate in 537 activities aimed at enriching imagination and expanding knowledge.
For an optimal experience, please
