The visit aimed to enhance participants' awareness of advanced technology concepts and introduce them to the latest practices in artificial intelligence, 3D printing, smart environments, and the connection between scientific research and the job market. This experience empowers students to envision the future and understand its practical tools.
The "I Am Creative" week is one of five weeks included in the summer program at Al Dhaid Club. The program covers various themes such as "Here is Sharjah," "I Am the Community," "I Am an Athlete," and "I Am the Future." Each phase features a range of daily changing activities that align with participants' interests and mental and physical needs.
Al Dhaid Club continues its field programs under "Our Holiday is Different," organizing more visits, workshops, and community initiatives that strengthen youth connections to concepts of belonging, teamwork, and national identity in a safe and productive summer environment.
During the visit, participants aged 7 to 17 explored live models of research projects and advanced technological facilities. The tour included various sections such as the Environmental Innovation Zone, smart warehouses, and software development laboratories. They also attended demonstrations on supporting young entrepreneurs, adopting startup projects, and empowering researchers and innovators to turn their ideas into practical applications.
Participants enjoyed interactive demonstrations on sustainable energy, smart buildings, robotics, and virtual and augmented reality, leaving a significant impression on them. The management of the park ensured that explanations were delivered in a simplified manner suitable for the target age group, encouraging questions and active participation in discussions.
Saeed bin Daloon Al Ketbi, Chairman of the Strategic Planning and Institutional Excellence Committee at Al Dhaid Club, emphasised that organising this visit aligns with the summer programme's objectives of building a generation with technological awareness, critical thinking skills, creativity, and initiative. He stated, “We have ensured that our summer program includes educational and experiential stations that motivate participants to discover their scientific inclinations and open new horizons for understanding the role of technology in sustainable development. The visit to the Sharjah Research Park represents a living model of the innovative environment we want our children to engage with and draw inspiration from for the future.”
Al Ketbi added that this year’s summer program stands out for its diverse segments and integrated themes that combine sports, leadership, arts, sciences, technology, and community, aligning with the aspirations of the Sharjah Sports Council and its strong support for summer activities that create a stimulating and safe environment for youth development.
