DOHA: The Qatar Robotics Club (QRC) was born in 2016, in an attempt to educate young minds and create an understanding of robotics and other STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics)-based education programmes.
It is handled by working professionals in robotics and related fields who also enjoy robotics as a hobby. Qatar robotics Club is currently incubated with digital incubation centre under Ministry of ICT.
QRC is currently conducting a hands-on robotics workshop for students to help them learn real robotics and automation. The workshop is designed by former research engineers and its duration is two weeks. Until Summer school vacation there will be multiple batches that will be held.
The programmes will be conducted at skills development centre, New Salata. There will be morning and evening batches available. There will be multiple programmes for different age groups: Fun Engineering (4 to 6 years age); Junior Robotics (7 to 9 years) and Advanced Robotics (10 years+).
The workshop curriculum is very unique because it gives training to students to use electronic hardware and devices which are used in actual robotics projects. Through the workshop, we use the same hardware that we use in our real robotics projects.
Curriculum is based on electronic robotics designing. Students will be trained in robotics, programming, basic electronics, microcontrollers, sensors, automation experiments etc. So after completing the workshop, students will be able to make their own robotics and electronics projects outside the course curriculum.
