PCS Edventures, a leader in the educational sector in terms of designing and delivering robotic educational products and services pertaining to Science, Technology Engineering and Mathematics to the K-16 market, has received supplementary orders from the Al Riyadh School to supply additional robotic materials for engineering, robotics and technological educational programs. It was reported that the delivery of these program materials will happen soon and the studies will be instigated in October.
The earlier programs of PCS at Al Riyadh School were successfully conducted in 2008 and 2009. In 2008, electronics training programs were conducted for k-12 students. In 2009, technology and robotics programs were conducted for 4th and 7th grade students. The teachers and management of the school and a proficient organization that evaluates the technological training programs conducted within the school gave a positive response of the program. It was reported that the curriculum of grades 1 to 3 and 5 will be included with additional robotics programs. Technology and electronics programs will also be included at the girls’ campus.
Dr. Mohammed Yasser Refai, Managing Director of PCS Middle East, has stated that their collaboration with Al Riyadh School has shown positive outcomes and their programs have been very successful within the school. He added that their company is determined to introduce their popular programs in the globally competent schools as well as in all UK and Saudi Arabian schools.
According to Robert Grover, President, COO, and CTO of PCS Edventures, their recent expansion has depicted the wide acceptance of their programs by the education system of Saudi Arabia. He added that their recent order for $20,000 can profoundly expand their robotic programs for another three years following a grant of $60,000, thereby depicting the market value of their programs on an individual school basis in the educational system of Saudi Arabia.
