Ooredoo and KidzMondo Doha are set to partner on a new interactive learning experience for children when the indoor ‘edutainment’ theme park opens at the end of 2016.

Designed to teach children about the power and potential of network technology, the Ooredoo Engineer Experience will provide a unique ‘telecom’ experience for visiting children. Tasks in the Ooredoo Zone will include doing maintenance for the city by repairing tower signals, following a map to reconnect the buildings, and much more.

For children with an interest in technology, the Ooredoo Zone will introduce them to the old system of connecting telephone calls and how cables across the city are connected today to receive clear signals, while showcasing signal repair work of Ooredoo engineers in supporting the Ooredoo Supernet.

This partnership aims to further enrich KidzMondo Doha’s fun learning experience and help inspire children aged 2 to 14 years to realise their full potential and further their own development.

Commenting on the partnership, Yousuf Abdulla Al Kubaisi, Chief Operating Officer, Ooredoo Qatar, said: “Through this unique indoor theme park, children will be introduced to the daily challenges of delivering incredible connectivity to the people of Qatar — and the interesting daily lives of Ooredoo engineers and technical experts. Like KidzMondo, Ooredoo believes in unlocking imagination and creativity in children and empowering them with knowledge that will help prepare them for the professional world of adults with confidence and courage.”

Nabil R Barakat, General Manager of KidzMondo Doha, said: “We are pleased to be joining hands with Ooredoo to introduce yet another fun and rewarding experience to our growing variety of educational activities at KidzMondo. The addition of such an important activity at our unique edutainment theme park will perfectly complement our existing partnerships and we can’t wait to see young visitors enjoying the opportunity of indulging in a wide range of endeavours and role-playing."
