Saudi Robotics Federation Partners with VEX Robotics, RECF to Enhance STEM Education in Saudi Arabia
The Saudi Federation for Robotics and RC Sports has announced a partnership with VEX Robotics, a global leader in educational robotics, and the Robotics Education & Competition Foundation (RECF), as stated in a press release. This collaboration aims to advance STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) education across Saudi Arabia by integrating cutting-edge robotics technology into classrooms and competitions.
This partnership represents a significant step in equipping Saudi students with world-class educational tools and platforms, aligning with the Kingdom's vision for technological innovation and youth empowerment. By fostering a culture of STEM excellence, this initiative will open new pathways for students to explore robotics, develop critical skills, and engage in global robotics competitions.
CEO of the Saudi Federation of Robotics and RC Sports Abdullah Alsunaydi stated, "We are honored to partner with VEX Robotics and RECF to enhance the robotics landscape in Saudi Arabia. This partnership supports our mission to cultivate a knowledge-driven society, nurture innovation, and create new opportunities for our youth."
The release also stated that VEX Robotics offers a hands-on robotics education solution called the VEX Continuum, designed to engage students from elementary through university levels. The RECF organizes the world's largest global robotics competition, encouraging students to apply classroom learning, develop hands-on problem-solving skills, and collaborate with peers in dynamic environments.
The collaboration will focus on expanding access to robotics education by providing teacher training and resources, as well as establishing local, regional, and national competitions. These initiatives inspire students to explore STEM and build confidence in science, technology, and engineering careers.
Looking ahead, VEX Robotics, RECF, and the Saudi Federation aim to establish a sustainable ecosystem for robotics education in Saudi Arabia. Through this partnership, students will gain opportunities to compete on the global stage, representing Saudi Arabia in international competitions.
