MCIT Concludes Robotics Training Workshop for Deaf Participants in Collaboration with Tawasul and Ali Robotics Associations

The Ministry of Communications and Information Technology (MCIT), in collaboration with Tawasul Association and Aali Robotics Association, organized a specialized training workshop on the fundamentals of robotics from August 9 to 11, 2026, at the Ministry’s headquarters, with the participation of a number of deaf persons with disabilities.

The workshop aimed to enable participants to learn the fundamental concepts of robotics and programming and develop their technical skills through hands-on activities that allowed them to build a functional robot model under the supervision of specialized trainers, within an interactive learning environment tailored to their needs.

The workshop included a simplified introduction to robot components and how they operate, an overview of programming and control fundamentals, as well as practical exercises designed to enhance participants’ skills and turn theoretical knowledge into a tangible learning experience.

The workshop forms part of MCIT’s efforts to advance digital inclusion and empower all segments of society to acquire technical skills, in collaboration with specialized organizations, contributing to broader opportunities for learning and participation in technology and innovation.
