The Aga Khan Education Board (AKEB) for Canada and the Aga Khan Education Service in Tajikistan and the Kyrgyz Republic have collaborated to launch the Robotics Programme. Prior to the launch of the course, two volunteers, Sadru Damji and Sobia Makhani, organized an 11-day faculty training for over 25 teachers, as well as engaging teachers from other schools in Khorog. The training included 3–6 hours of daily instruction for the faculty, and a six-day short course for 30 students.
“The robotics club develops logic and creativity in students, as well as improves their abilities in other subjects,” says Orusbekov G, a parent of an enthusiastic student attending the Aga Khan Lycée.
