MindCraft OnDemand

Within CMUQ campus and Beyond, MindCraft OnDemand offers events and workshops that are tailored to specific audience based on their request. We basically, bring the workshops to you! This is in an effort to reach as many students as possible across Qatar. This can be achieved by taking the offered workshops material and delivering it to your students at your venue/school, it can also be done by tailoring a new material to meet your request, or by taking part in the national science week at your school.

MindCraft App Hakathon

A three days program that teaches students the foundation of mobile App design and development. Students’ different educational level and background is taken into consideration when designing the material. After two days of interactive teaching, students brainstorm on ideas that solve a given problem. Each team choose only one idea to design and develop an App for it.
On the third day, each team presents their App in front of judges attending the presentation along with parents and friends. Teams’ performance varies, and we are always amazed. Students’ creativity and their youthful imagination takes them beyond what we deliver.
