PESHAWAR: STEMvese, a Pakistani educational institution teaching robotics and Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) education to children, hopes to promote inclusive and non-traditional learning across classrooms in the Middle East region with the help of Palestinian company Mufakker, the institution’s founder said this week.
Headquartered in the northwestern city of Peshawar, STEMverse says it has trained more than 2,500 students in robotics and STEM education. The institution says it has partnered with over ten schools in Pakistan so far to promote STEM education in the country.
Mufakker, meanwhile, is a Palestinian company that specializes in the design and production of educational tools tailored to the abilities and needs of children with autism, Down syndrome and learning difficulties.
STEMverse founder and CEO Mashaal Jawad met Mufakker founder Maali Diab at the GITEX Global 2025 event held in Dubai last month. Both companies inked a memorandum of understanding to exchange expertise in robotics and STEM education to promote non-traditional learning in classrooms.
“The hope is for both companies to expand into these regions,” Jawad told Arab News on Friday, “If their (Muffaker’s) expertise is in the language department, I’d be more than happy to have their games being used here to teach us things like Urdu or English, even regional languages like Pashto, Sindhi and Punjabi.”
