The GO ROBOT programme was launched by Maersk Oil Qatar and the College of the North Atlantic – Qatar to encourage the study of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). GO ROBOT is focused on helping in three ways:
- Teachers’ professional development, through robotics training and conferences to improve the classroom environment and teaching methods
- Student learning and robo
tics competitions, hosted each year both within Qatar and abroad which build technical and life skills, and engagement in STEM subjects
- Investment in robotics kits and game tables which are distributed free to all participating schools
GO ROBOT is supported by Qatar Petroleum and endorsed by the Supreme Education Council. The programme is aligned with the Human Development pillar of the Qatar National Vision 2030.
