KUWAIT: Zain Kuwait has successfully concluded the third edition of its Innovation Nation Summer Camp, held in collaboration with Sabah Al-Ahmad Center for Giftedness and Creativity — a Kuwait Foundation for the Advancement of Sciences (KFAS) center — and Assima Mall. The program successfully empowered nearly 2,600 boys and girls to explore the worlds of technology and digital innovation, creating unforgettable memories that pave the way for their future ambitions. Over the course of ten days, the camp provided an inspiring, interactive space for children aged 7 to 14 to engage in exciting educational experiences across innovative fields such as robotics, artificial intelligence, 3D printing, electronics, and renewable energy.

Fun educational experiences on the fundamentals of technology.

Zain continues its efforts to digitally empower the next generation.

The success of this year’s camp marks another milestone in Zain’s ongoing journey to empower future generations, reinforcing its role as a key enabler of Kuwait’s digital transformation through educational and community initiatives that open doors to innovation and knowledge. The workshops were led by a team of certified trainers from the Sabah Al-Ahmad Center, in addition to engineering students from GUST (the Innovation Nation Leaders) and part-time members of Zain’s FUN program. The team developed interactive educational content using non-traditional methods that encouraged children to experiment, discover, and learn through hands-on practice.

Activities included fun learning experiences that focused on practical, interactive components, such as building pet-shaped robots and delivery bots, learning the basics of AI, exploring 3D printing and electronics, and understanding concepts in renewable energy and smart innovation. These experiences enriched the children’s passion for technology and science. This camp was part of the wider Innovation Nation initiative, which embodies Zain’s strategy to support and empower the next generation by offering inspiring educational opportunities in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) fields. It reaffirms Zain’s commitment to playing a vital role in shaping a promising digital future for Kuwait.
