General Info

Welcome to the most exciting and empowering event of the year! We are thrilled to announce the collaboration between our innovation event management team, based right here in the heart of Dubai, and the REC Foundation. Together, we are embarking on a remarkable journey to inspire and empower the future generation of female leaders in the world of STEM.

In a world driven by technology and innovation, it is imperative that we equip our girls with the tools, knowledge, and confidence to excel in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). With this mission in mind, we proudly present the "Girl Powered Event," a groundbreaking initiative designed exclusively for girls aged 8 to 13.

Our event is more than just a gathering; it's a celebration of girl power, creativity, and limitless potential. At the "Girl Powered Event," we will provide a platform where young girls can explore the fascinating world of robotics, engineering, and problem-solving, all while fostering a deep passion for STEM subjects.

Here's what you can look forward to:

1. **Hands-On Robotics Workshops:** Our event will feature interactive workshops, where participants will get to build, program, and compete with their own robots. This hands-on experience will ignite their curiosity and drive for STEM.

2. **Inspiring Role Models:** We have invited accomplished women in STEM fields as keynote speakers and mentors. They will share their stories of success, inspire our young participants, and provide valuable guidance on pursuing STEM careers.

3. **Team Challenges and Competitions:** Girls will have the opportunity to collaborate, problem-solve, and put their robotic creations to the test in friendly competitions. These challenges will encourage teamwork, critical thinking, and creativity.

4. **STEM Fair:** A showcase of cutting-edge STEM technologies, projects, and educational resources will be available for all attendees. This will expose girls to the exciting possibilities within the world of STEM.

5. **Networking Opportunities:** Our event will provide a platform for girls to connect with like-minded peers, mentors, and organizations passionate about promoting STEM education among girls.

The "Girl Powered Event" is not just about a single day of fun and learning; it's about sparking a lifelong interest in STEM and instilling confidence in our girls to pursue their dreams without limits. Together, we can break barriers, shatter stereotypes, and empower the next generation of female STEM leaders.

Join us in this extraordinary journey as we inspire, educate, and empower girls to become the future architects of innovation, problem solvers, and leaders in the dynamic world of STEM. Together, let's ignite the girl power within and pave the way for a brighter, more inclusive future!
