  KFAS, a private non-profit organization was established in 1976 by an Amiri Decree under the direction of the late Amir of Kuwait, HH Sheikh Jaber Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah. His enduring vision has been to create and develop a thriving culture of science, technology and innovation for a sustainable Kuwait. KFAS’s charter represents the commitment by local shareholding companies to contribute 5 percent of their annual net profits to fund the foundation, which over the years has been reduced to 1 percent. Tremendous strides have been made throughout KFAS’s journey to promote STI and encourage a culture of research and development in Kuwaiti society, especially considering the numerous challenges inherent to generating socioeconomic growth and national development in such a groundbreaking manner. KFAS has been building a well-equipped STI workforce to meet the socio-economic adversities that Kuwait and other countries are bound to face, in particular encouraging and educating the youth. Here in Kuwait, the foundation promotes and advocates for science, technology and innovation through the dissemination of knowledge in a number of different ways, including scientific publications, books and community-based events. The foundation also collaborates with local and international institutions to raise the quality of research in Kuwait and drive innovative solutions for areas of national priority. KFAS is also building an STI-competent private sector by fostering the means to increase R&D capacity, as well as to increase the private-sector investments in STI. Finally, through our regional and international collaborations with world-renowned academic and research institutions and major corporations, KFAS gives the local community greater access to partnerships focused on enhancing the national science and technology platform.

  STEM Hub is an online learning platform offering STEM curricula and support services to K-12 school teachers to aid them in teaching subjects such as robotics, programming, AI and general STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics). Our mission is to empower teachers to deliver - best in class- engaging STEM activities. We do this by giving teachers access to standard easy-to-use STEM curricula, regularly updated resources, trainings, and ongoing technical support throughout the academic year that enhances their ability to plan, deliver and manage STEM lessons and activities for K-12 students in their schools. Why is support needed in STEM education? Schools looking to integrate STEM subjects in their curriculums need well equipped teaching staff to do so. Yet teachers today find it challenging to teach STEM subjects to their students given their non-technical experience in engineering and technology, the unavailability of common standards for STEM learning, and the rapidly evolving technology that requires constant follow up and updates. STEM Hub aims to fill this gap by becoming a reliable resource and support center for STEM education. Show less
