The Emirates Safer Internet Society (eSafe) organization has launched the STOGOCOMP competition - the first open competition in the UAE for artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics for students aged 9-19. The President of the Robotics and Automation Society, Dr. Said Al-Dhaheri, noted that STOGOCOMP provides students with an excellent platform to implement innovative ideas capable of demonstrating real impact.
In the first edition of the competition, students from public and private schools will use this platform to propose effective solutions aimed at improving the well-being of children in educational institutions. STOGOCOMP inspires innovation, develops creative abilities, and motivates students to expand their skills in the fields of science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics (STEAM) through the study of AI and robotics.
Two non-governmental organizations - the UAE Internet Safety Society and the Robotics and Automation Society - have combined efforts to hold this prestigious competition at the University of Dubai with the technical support of Tachyon 360. eSafe President Dr. Abdul Mohammed Al-Mekhya said: "We are proud to be organizing this revolutionary competition, facilitated by Disney-financed companies, in collaboration with our valued partners - the Robotics and Automation Society and the University of Dubai, which will be awarding the certificates of merit."
The President of the University of Dubai, Dr. Issa Mohammed Bastaki, emphasized: "The University of Dubai is proud to have the opportunity to host the STOGOCOMP competition, which perfectly aligns with our mission to unlock the potential of innovation and academic excellence, and also serves as a key step in ensuring youth acquire the skills and mentality necessary for a successful transition into the digital world. We are eager to support students in exploring the limitless possibilities of AI and robotics to enhance the well-being of children in schools."
