Riffa Views International School and MIT host MISTI Program

Riffa Views International School (RVIS), in a visionary collaboration with MIT alumni Maryam Al Jomairi, Marwa Al Alawi, and Latifa Al Khayat, announces the expansion of its robotics workshops series for January 2024. This initiative, a result of the foresight and dedication of both RVIS and its MIT co-founders, is part of the MIT International Science and Technology Initiatives (MISTI) Arab World program and aims to extend innovative educational opportunities to a broader student base across Bahrain.Co-sponsored by Aion Digital and Etisalcom, this year’s series includes “Mastering the Future: Unleashing the Power of Automation with Robotics” and the advanced course “Autobot Challenge: Engineering Autonomous Vehicles,” catering to both government and private school students.These workshops are designed to provide comprehensive, hands-on experience in robotics and engineering, from basic coding and 3D modeling to advanced autonomous vehicle programming.Last year’s program allowed students to engage in a wide variety of tasks, ranging from basic robot programming to complex engineering tasks, illustrating the significant impact of hands-on learning experiences.  “Participating in last year’s program was an amazing experience for me,” said Mariam Al Khalifa, a participant from the workshop.“It was incredible to see our ideas come to life, and I really appreciated working with
