“This is a pivotal moment. UAE schools are moving beyond traditional
academics. This is about preparing children to thrive in a world shaped by

AI ethically, creatively, and consciously,” said Nilesh Korgaonkar, CEO of

ATLAB, an educational technology provider in the region.

AI literacy

According to Korgaonkar, early exposure to AI helps students build vital

cognitive skills such as pattern recognition, logical reasoning, and decision-

making while unleashing creativity.
“Young learners are naturally curious. By introducing AI concepts in age-

appropriate, playful ways — through stories, games, and hands-on tools —

we empower them to become not just tech users, but responsible

innovators,” he added.

ATLAB is working closely with the Ministry of Education to equip

classrooms with modular, child-friendly AI tools, including robotics kits and
storytelling platforms designed for young minds.
