Information Tech Society committed to youth education

TUNIS: Vice Chairperson of the Kuwait Information Technology Society (KITS), Dr Abeer Al-Ameeri, affirmed the Society’s ongoing dedication to nurturing technological education among youth, fostering innovation, and promoting creative thinking in alignment with Kuwait’s strategic vision for a knowledge-based, tech-driven economy. Speaking to the Kuwait News Agency (KUNA) on Friday, Dr Al-Ameeri highlighted the significance of KITS’ participation in the 16th Arab Open Robotics Championship, set to commence Saturday in Hammamet, Tunisia.

The event is expected to witness broad participation from Arab delegations, academic institutions, and regional technology centers. Dr Al-Ameeri, who is leading the KITS delegation, noted that the team comprises supervisors, two expert trainers, and 12 students from intermediate and secondary school levels. The students are divided into six teams, with four set to compete in the “Line Tracking” category and two in the “Robot Arm” competition. Additionally, a university-level innovation team will also represent Kuwait in the championship.

“Our students have undergone extensive, high-level training to prepare for this prestigious event,” Al-Ameeri said, emphasizing the importance of such competitions in empowering national talents. She also extended her gratitude to the Ministry of Education and the Public Authority for Youth for their support, and to Zain Telecommunications Company for its strategic partnership, which has enabled KITS to participate in international forums and elevate Kuwait’s profile in the Arab tech scene.

KITS’ participation, she noted, is part of its broader mission to develop national competencies in artificial intelligence, programming and robotics. The Society remains committed to ensuring Kuwait’s representation in regional and international scientific platforms. “This championship offers Kuwaiti students a valuable opportunity to engage with peers from across the Arab world, enhance their practical skills, and gain experience in a constructive, competitive environment,” Dr Al-Ameeri added. — KUNA
