Nizwa: The activities of the summer programme, held under the theme "A Generation Building the Future," have commenced in A’Dakhiliyah Governorate.
The programme is being implemented by the Directorate General of Education during the 2026 summer vacation, with the participation of approximately 1,000 male and female students from various schools across the governorate, and will continue until the end June.
The programme targets school students from the fifth to the eleventh grades, as well as teachers specializing in science, technology, innovation, STEM subjects, information technology, and teachers and supervisors of innovation centres. It aligns with an overarching objective to develop skills in innovation, scientific and technical thinking, and to create applied learning environments that contribute to preparing a generation capable of keeping pace with scientific and technological transformations.
The programme adopts a decentralized, multi‑site implementation model, with training modules and specialized workshops distributed across a number of innovation centres and learning resource centres in the governorate. This allows students to benefit from diverse and specialized learning environments, activates the role of innovation centres, and transforms them into incubators for scientific and technical projects and ideas.
The programme includes a series of applied training workshops in the fields of educational robotics, artificial intelligence, renewable energy, scientific innovation, nanotechnology, the "Young Innovator" initiative, geographic information systems (GIS), cybersecurity and modelling using 3D printers.
