The Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (Dewa) has successfully concluded its 'Future Engineer' camp for students. The camp took place as part of the 'Reading is Positive Energy' exhibition at Zabeel Park.
The camp encouraged innovation and creativity among students and provided them with a distinguished educational platform to develop their basic science skills, such as measuring and observing, analysis and composition, troubleshooting, and deduction in record time.
During a ceremony at the Reading is Positive Energy exhibition, Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, MD & CEO of Dewa, presented certificates and awards to the participants.
As many as 47 students aged between 12 and 15 years participated in the winter camp, which was divided into two levels. The first level included 29 new students, while 18 students who participated in the last summer camp joined the second level of the winter camp to continue their training programme. Participating students spent more than 80 training hours focusing on the basics and principles of electricity and electronics. Specialised trainers provided students with the best educational experience with interesting lectures, workshops, and contests.
Students participating in the first level learnt how to build electrical circuits in a safe way. The practical experiments allowed them to better understand topics related to electricity and electronics. The students in the second level learnt about various circuits and semiconductors like diodes and transistors and its use under different circumstances through interesting scientific experiments.
On the sidelines of the camp, students benefited from a set of lectures and condensed courses in reading, innovation and time management. They expressed their passion to participate in such initiatives. Participants' happiness survey results reached 99 per cent.
