Introducing the Artificial Intelligence Lab for Schools in Dubai by Clevered
In an era dominated by rapid technological advancements, education must evolve to equip students with the skills and mindsets necessary for the future. The United Arab Emirates, particularly Dubai, has always been at the forefront of embracing innovation in education. Now, taking a transformative step forward, Clevered—a leading education innovation platform—is proud to launch the Artificial Intelligence (AI) Coding Lab for Schools across Dubai. This groundbreaking initiative is designed to introduce school students to the world of Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and Data Science in a practical, engaging, and future-ready manner.
Why AI in Schools? The UAE’s Vision for Future-Ready Learning
The UAE government has consistently demonstrated its commitment to nurturing a tech-savvy generation. From appointing the world’s first Minister of State for Artificial Intelligence to integrating AI into national strategies, the emphasis on future technologies is evident.
By introducing AI at the school level, Dubai aims to:
-
Foster early exposure to emerging technologies
-
Promote computational and analytical thinking
-
Bridge the gap between classroom learning and real-world applications
-
Prepare students for careers that don’t yet exist
Clevered’s AI Coding Lab initiative aligns seamlessly with the UAE’s Artificial Intelligence Strategy 2031, ensuring students aren’t just consumers of technology—but its creators.
What is the AI Coding Lab by Clevered?
The AI Coding Lab is a cutting-edge, hands-on learning environment designed for school students aged 10 to 18. It integrates Artificial Intelligence, Python programming, Robotics, Machine Learning, and Data Analytics into a dynamic, age-appropriate curriculum. Unlike traditional computer labs, this lab encourages creativity, experimentation, and critical thinking.
Each lab is equipped with:
-
High-performance computers optimized for AI applications
-
Interactive smart boards and AR/VR capabilities
-
AI development kits (including Raspberry Pi, Arduino, and sensors)
-
Coding software and tools (Scratch, Python, TensorFlow Lite for kids)
Curriculum Highlights: Learning with Purpose
Clevered has developed a proprietary, project-based curriculum tailored to different age groups. The curriculum is co-designed with global AI experts and aligned with international frameworks such as ISTE (International Society for Technology in Education) and UNESCO's AI education guidelines.
Modules Include:
-
Introduction to AI & Ethics: Understanding how AI impacts society and the importance of responsible AI.
-
Python for Beginners: Learning coding basics and syntax through games and interactive challenges.
-
Machine Learning Projects: Creating models that recognize images, text, and patterns using supervised learning techniques.
-
AI in Daily Life: Exploring how AI powers voice assistants, recommendation engines, and self-driving technology.
-
Data Science for Kids: Learning how to clean, visualize, and draw insights from real datasets.
-
Robotics with AI: Programming robots to react to human voice, gestures, and environmental stimuli.
Each module concludes with a hands-on project such as building a chatbot, designing a traffic prediction model, or creating an AI-powered recycling robot.
Empowering Educators: Training & Certification
At the heart of any successful educational initiative is the educator. Clevered supports schools not just with infrastructure, but with comprehensive teacher training programs. Teachers are trained in AI pedagogy, classroom integration techniques, and continuous assessment tools.
Upon completion, educators receive:
-
Certified AI Educator Credentials
