In line with its ongoing efforts to make a worthwhile impact on the local community through positive, beneficial initiatives, Rove has partnered with STEM for Kids to launch STEM Saturday Camps across all of its hotels. The camps are designed to offer highly flexible and engaging programmes that focus on science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) for 5 to 11-year-olds.

 

STEM for Kids was established in USA in 2010, and began its Dubai operations in 2015. It has since become a premier educator of STEM principles in the region. The programmes are created by engineers, educators and industry insiders to deliver a unique hands-on approach that makes learning fun and highly engaging for kids. Through the STEM camps, Rove aims to highlight how important it is for children to learn scientific principles that can be applied to real-life scenarios.   

 

STEM Saturday Camps will kick off at Rove Downtown on November 3rd, before expanding across all Rove Hotels, including Trade Centre, Marina, City Centre, and Healthcare City. The activities will cover a range of disciplines such as Civil & Mechanical Engineering, Electrical & Environmental Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Computer Programming Robotics and much more! The activities will allow young participants to experience a whole new world where they will solve real life challenges, get exposed to the latest technology, and learn about important STEM principles in an exciting way every Saturday.

 

Highlighting the importance of the initiative, Paul Bridger, Corporate Director of Operations at Rove Hotels, commented, “At Rove Hotels, we believe in empowering Rovers of all ages and education is the most powerful tool of all. Through our partnership with STEM Saturday Camps, we can give children the freedom to utilise their creativity to solve problems and challenges in a fun, exciting environment, which, in turn, benefits the wider community in the long run.”

Our 4-week package is priced at AED 975, while the 8-week package is priced at AED 1750. Rovers staying at Rove Hotels can enjoy an exclusive one-day offer for AED 250.
