MDS CTS co-sponsored and participated in a Science Festival which took place from January 30 to February 8, 2020 at Al Bahar at the Corniche in Abu Dhabi, and was aimed at schools’ senior leadership teams, students and parents.

Apple products infuse creativity with learning and make classrooms fun

The Science Festival is an important strategic initiative organized in Abu Dhabi to spark curiosity and interest in UAE youth in STEAM subjects: Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics. The Festival features engaging edutainment activities including fun workshops, interactive exhibits, and spectacular shows. It also provides a platform for talented innovators to showcase their creativity through an Innovator Initiative.

MDS CTS participated along with one of its strategic customers, an Apple Distinguished School, showcasing Apple products and unique solutions. Besides selling Apple products to the education sector, the company also offers experiences, some of which are Robotics (code learning), Music Lab, Digital Art, etc. The company focuses on creative learning through Apple products, applications, and training, so the Science Festival was a perfect platform to reach out to target audiences, who came and witnessed various experiences and products in action.

STEAM subjects are gaining popularity in the UAE; gives students an opportunity to apply their understanding of concepts learned in class to real-world scenarios

The space from where MDS CTS participated was made into a mock classroom with different sections like Robotics, Digital Bowling with Mini Spheros, Learn Science, etc. Developing the stand and working with an Apple Distinguished School allowed the company to showcase real examples of creativity and learning, and the various experiences that the company has created in the last year.
