Jaser al-harasis, 28, sought to teach younger generations robotics and artificial intelligence, and to establish creative thinking skills and future sciences, launching his first initiative during his university studies in 2013, targeting a number of public school students in tafila province in southern Jordan.
with the help of his university colleague muhannad al-labdawi, 27-year-old communications engineer al-rangers began teaching students between the ages of 8 and 16 the basics of artificial intelligence and creative thinking, in an attempt to guide students towards future science, free of charge.
After graduating from university in 2016, they came up with the idea of "sustaining the AI initiative," telling al Jazeera net that by "establishing our socially and non-profit technology pioneer, we offer educational technological products and services."
Less fortunate students
Al-Harasis and Labdawi worked to collect old robots from educational institutions, and to educate students in poor and less fortunate areas to develop, operate and modify them, targeting students of public schools between the ages of 6 and 18 in 8 provinces of the parties, and the less fortunate, according to al-labdawi Al-Jazeera net.
To secure financial funding for training students in less privileged areas, the team set out to train students from private schools in Amman, the major cities of Irbid and Zarqa on future science, with fees that provide the team with an income that allows them to train less fortunate students.
The training team then moved to target a new segment of university students and engineering graduates to train them in creative thinking skills, artificial intelligence and robotics to help them create better jobs and develop their technological abilities.
All of this is because al-rangers and his team are keen to "support innovative ideas and projects in the fields of programming, artificial intelligence and robotics to accelerate digital transformation, and to encourage young people and young people to embrace entrepreneurship and creativity in order to bring about positive change," he said.
Al-Rangers and his teaching team trained some 12,000 students over a period of nine years and provided employment opportunities for a number of these trainees in the fields of training and work in the ai and robotics sector.
Glasses for the blind
The trainees presented pioneering projects and designs in the service of the community and people with disabilities, most notably designed by student Zeina Nofal (17 years old), who was able to design glasses with a camera and earphone, helping the blind to walk easier on the highway.
Lynn Al-Ladai, a 17-year-old student, was able to design a smart refrigerator project that would help the blind know what items they hold in their refrigerator, when they are produced and how fit they are to eat, in order to protect them from poisoning.
Al-Ladai and Nouvel projects achieved first place in the Arab cup of programming and artificial intelligence competition as part of the competition, which was organized with the participation of 3,500 students between the ages of 8 and 16 from 9 Arab countries, as well as two other student projects Qais Odeh and Abdullah al-Karnz.
Salah Al-Shabilat, 13, was able to create an application that allows patients with skin diseases to know the quality of their disease by photographing the symptoms of the skin disease with a camera, and inserting images into the computer that recognizes the quality of the disease through these images, thus providing a medical diagnosis.
Malik Saleh, a 15-year-old student, designed a smartwatch for people with vibration-based hearing impairment and flash, and a second hour for the blind to tell them the time and appointments installed on it, and provided them with a speaking basis.
Robotna has achieved a number of innovative pilot projects from trainee students, most notably the best technology initiative of the united nations volunteer programme 2017, the top 10 humanitarian projects in the Arab world by the general authority for youth in Kuwait, the top 20 social projects in the middle east and north Africa, the top 7 Arab initiatives qualified by the Arab media forum, and others.
Arab initiative
The community leadership role of Harass and Robotna not only stopped in Jordan, but also provided grants to less fortunate Arab students and refugees, with 200 grants distributed to three countries: Sudan, Syria, Palestine and Gaza, to participate in the 2021 Codeavour World Artificial Intelligence Championship.
The scholarship includes educating and training students, paying fees for their participation in the global competition, supporting them at all stages of the competition, and submitting a design project to open up opportunities for them to demonstrate their creativity and excellence to the world.
In his efforts at community leadership, the international organization for youth nominated rangers to be a member of the world bank's youth committee, and was selected as a representative of Arab youth on this committee among 17 young people selected around the world, and the committee is responsible for designing world bank programs to reduce the problem of unemployment around the world.
In terms of awards, students have won a number of awards, most notably the best video gold presented in the virtual world robotics championship, the Arab champion in the Arab cup of programming and artificial intelligence, the design and strategy gold in the national robotics championship, and the second place in the world in the world championship of programming and artificial intelligence.
