Free Robotics Training Reaches More Schools

The Pakistan Innovation Quest is expanding access to robotics and STEM education, aiming to reach 10,000 learners and 300 teachers through RoboStarter Sprints, regional competitions and a National Showcase. Supported by Aramco, the initiative offers free training in public and private schools, low-income communities, NGO-supported institutions and girls’ schools. PIQ has already trained more than 6,000 learners and 518 teachers across Karachi, Lahore, Hyderabad, Gujranwala and Kasur, with around 60 institutions in its network. The programme aims for more than 40% female participation and plans to donate 100 robotics kits to underserved institutions. Students can progress from introductory robotics training to regional competitions and the World Robot Olympiad Pakistan platform.
