The number of participants in the program reached 36 students from UAE nationals, within the age group from 11 to 15 years, who were able to pass the three stages of the program successfully.
The first phase of the program consisted of establishing the foundation, during which emphasis was placed on deep understanding of concepts and ideas related to computers and programming, starting with basic languages and ending with JavaScript. As for the second phase, which is the application in the real world, during which a project was developed with practical scenarios based on artificial intelligence (AI), the concept of machine learning, and the Internet of Things (IoT). The third phase focused on working with emerging technologies, and revealing the potential of the human brain through the “deep neural network” using the brain computer interface (NextMind), and within an interactive environment in Metaverse. This stage included the creation of an augmented metaverse environment using Roblox and Sandbox, relying on artificial intelligence (AI), augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), and extended reality. The program also provided participants, during its final phase, with a training module on ChatGPT, which is a smart system based on artificial intelligence that combines conversational communications, comprehensive explanations and multilingual content, and provides a set of innovative features that cover various applications and fields.
