Creative Kid Exhibition in Homs shows distinguished works and robots

HOMS, Oct.19, (ST)-The Creative Child Exhibition, which is organized by the “IT Kids” Center in the Al-Mahatta neighborhood in Homs, included creative and distinguished works and robots.

The head of the center, Waad Barawi, told the correspondent of the Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA) that the exhibition is being held for the first time, and it is the result of  training over one hundred kids , aged between 4 and 10,  at the center on mental arithmetic and artificial intelligence.

A member of the Board of Trustees of the Syrian Scientific Society for Informatics, Eng. Muhammad Hassan Al-Najjar, said that this exhibition aims to encourage kids to be creative and distinguished by displaying a group of technologies that embody their skills and focus on important topics such as robotics, mental arithmetic, and Montessori, so that we have the nucleus of a technical team of kids capable of keeping pace with modern technologies.

For her part, Amina Owaijan, an Arabic language teacher at “Zedni Elman” center, declared that  Montessori curriculum is universal and adopted by all international schools, and each kid  relies on solitary play with his choice of the tool he wants to implement, which develops his awareness and skills using the senses, especially in early childhood.

The two kids, Muhammad Youssef and Osama Orfali, present at the exhibition a robot for construction, which was designed to reduce risks, ensure the safety of workers, and complete the work by remote control.

The kid Loujain Al-Najjar designed an automatic balancing robot based on the principle of a drone.

While the two kids, Catherine and Edmond Rabahia, designed a robot whose mission is to sort waste and recycle it, by identifying the garbage container for each type and delivering it to be recycled.

The kids, Bishr Al-Najjar, Yahya Orfali, and Charbel Eid, also designed a robot to sort the colors of the goods to be arranged.

The center’s robot trainer, Marah Assaf, clarified that kids at the center are trained weekly for 3 hours according to levels (beginner,  intermediate and advanced), and that the kids succeeded in designing distinct robots that they show in the exhibition.
