Tailor an experience to match your needs! Within CMUQ campus and beyond, MindCraft OnDemand offers events and workshops that are tailored to a specific audience based on their request. We 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 needs, or by taking part in an event at your school.

STEM Week with QAD
In collaboration with Qatar Academy, the HBJ Center hosted a fun and interactive session with middle school students.
The sessions involved football themed activities that needed to be solved using block-based programming. Students controlled a robot to kick the ball around to perform certain tasks.
Darb AlSaai
MindCraft participated in Darb AlSaai, offering activities that are suitable for different age groups.
The activities involved robots that navigate a maze by detecting different signs placed around the maze. This allowed the children to reflect on the idea of self-driven cars. The exhibition lasted 10 days, with more than 5000 people visiting the CMUQ booth from different age groups.
Mother-Child with QCRI
QCRI hosted a mother-child Tech event where many activities were offered. It was open for children up to 9 years old.
MindCraft took part in delivering activities that taught children about the language of computers, binary numbers, coding, and encryption. Students enjoyed hands-on activities, and were very engaged in learning and playing with their mothers as well as other children.
VEX National Competition
In partnership with Texas A&M University, we organized the Qatar VEX Robotics Competition for high school students.
Over the three years, thirty teams participated in the robotics competition that was held at the Qatar Science and Technology Secondary School (QSTSS). We developed a customized course and coached the teams throughout the academic year to prepare them for the competition.
Kindergarten STEM Week
During STEM week, MindCraft offers STEM related activities in Schools and Kindergartens around Qatar.
We take the opportunity to engage students and teach them about the world of Computer Science. This effort is essential to spread the awareness of the CS field and its importance in today's world.
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 chooses 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 take them beyond what we deliver.
NSRW 2019
Under the Ministry of Education, QNCC hosted the National Scientific Research Week. The NSRW features a series of scientific competitions and activities for school students.
MindCraft offered robotic activities using Cozmo for 5th grade students from public schools. Students learned sequantial programming and other fundementals that helped them control the robot and solve a set of given challenges.
