In partnership with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)’s International Science and Technology Initiative (MISTI), the American University of Bahrain (AUBH) recently concluded the “Building Interactive Wearable Technology from Scratch” workshop, for the second consecutive year. This program is designed to spark innovation among students from across Bahrain. This unique initiative brought together both high school and university students, fostering a collaborative environment where young minds could explore the exciting world of wearable technology.  Led by instructors from MIT, participants delved into topics like 3D printing, rapid prototyping, and coding. This hands-on experience equipped students with the skills to build interactive wearables, opening doors to potential applications in robotics, healthcare, and even fashion. Some of the student projects included Braille Speaker, Gesture Controlled RC Car, and Innovative Safety Bracelet for Kids. The workshop brought together a diverse group of passionate engineering, computer science, and ICT (Information and Communication Technology) (Information and Communication Technology) students eager to explore the forefront of wearable technology. The event fostered an environment of creativity, learning, and practical experience and further exemplified MIT and AUBH’s commitment to fostering innovation in today’s youth, laying the groundwork for a future generation of Bahraini tech leaders.
