Applied sciences, humanities, and other fields of knowledge,” noting at the same time that she was the first Emirati student to represent her country in competitions, along with six school and university students from Italy, France and the United States of America.

international standards
The distinguished project, which Al Mazmi Group called “The Learning Approach,” revolves around the idea of creating a smart and mobile educational “caravan” that is equipped with the latest educational technologies and advanced technologies. In my opinion, it lives up to the highest standards of quality and excellence offered by the most successful and prestigious educational institutions, given that they provide an integrated distance learning experience that suits the difficult social and economic conditions that many students are going through, and still, many students around the world, either because of the challenges imposed by the (Corona) pandemic Or the destruction, poverty and asylum imposed by wars, all by relying on the curricula and experiences of educational specialists from around the world, and in smart and flexible ways that suit various social and economic backgrounds, and even the educational levels of students around the world.”
She added: “To facilitate the task of searching, learning, managing the contents and benefiting from them, (the caravan) is equipped with smart entry cards equipped with bar codes, which include special surveys of all student data and educational stage, even academic specialization and geographical location, as once you log in, all settings are automatically configured. (The caravan) to respond to the student’s needs and level, for example, if he is a child, he will be addressed in a manner appropriate to his educational courses and intellectual abilities.”
On the other hand, Al Mazmi confirmed: “In addition, this project was provided with detailed videos and simplified explanations that facilitate the learning process, at a time when a special robot will be equipped later to respond to the various inquiries of students and facilitate their learning process.
In order to further establish the principle of efficiency in matching this experience to their different requirements, comprehensive and extensive surveys were conducted in each country, to find out the references and information that students would like available in their specializations, and to include them in the project data.”
accept and react
Speaking about the project, Al-Mazmi pointed out: “To ensure the effectiveness of this step, at some point an expanded number of schoolchildren in different countries were recruited to measure their acceptance of the experience and their ability to invest its benefits to develop their educational reality, and we were frankly surprised by the great enthusiasm that We felt it with many, and their acceptance of this experience and their clear harmony with it, especially the category of children known for their stubbornness in the beginning in accepting the experience of education in general with its traditional systems in place today, which encourages steadily, in my opinion, to adopt the implementation of this pattern to be an effective alternative to school education, as a motivator Before the experience of learning, on the experience of cultural cross-fertilization and effective communication between peoples, in light of the convergence achieved by the revolution of modern technology and digital communication.”
