Over 6,000 Abu Dhabi Students To Benefit From ADNOC’s Innovative STEM Partnership With LEGO Education
The Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) has inaugurated, its first Lego Innovation Lab at the ADNOC School in Sas Al Nakhl, Abu Dhabi. LEGO Innovation Labs will also be established in ADNOC Schools, in Abu Dhabi and the Al Dhafra region, which will benefit over 6,000 Abu Dhabi students from Elementary to High School levels.
The LEGO Innovation Labs will enable students to learn to work together and practice their skills across all curriculum subjects and have access to LEGO Education’s global on-line collaboration communities.
Each LEGO Innovation Lab is based on a hands-on learning approach that actively involves pupils in their own learning process, with animation and video technology used to drive digital literacy. Among the skills children can develop are coding and robotics, as well as using LEGO bricks to explore science, technology and mathematics. The program also includes a dedicated training program and ongoing support for teachers.
An integral component of ADNOC’s integrated Corporate Social Responsibility program, the partnership with LEGO Education is closely aligned with the UAE government’s renewed focus on developing a diversified educational curriculum based on critical thinking, science, mathematics and technology, such as Artificial Intelligence and predictive data platforms.
