From Pilot to Scale: Building Youth AI Programs That Work
Young people in the UAE are embracing AI tools with remarkable speed; the next step is helping them turn that curiosity into the judgement, creativity and applied skills the AI economy will reward. A growing number of pilots, bootcamps and school programmes are addressing this, but few reach scale, and fewer still can show measurable outcomes over time. The gap is rarely ideas. It is delivery capacity, facilitator pipelines, school access and patient, aligned funding.
This event brings together the people who fund, deliver and enable youth programmes to work on that gap directly.
What to Expect
Join high-level representatives from government and private sector organisations, academic leaders, and distinguished professionals working on AI adoption and youth development, including members of the AI Education Forum Advisory Board and our wider community.
The Abdulla Al Ghurair Foundation will open the event with a keynote on scaling educational programmes, followed by an engaging panel discussion exploring best practices, key challenges, and opportunities for greater impact.
A major part of the event will be dedicated to interactive group work, where participants will collaborate to brainstorm, design, and develop practical approaches to scaling youth AI education programmes.
Our goal is to ensure that every participant leaves with tangible outcomes, actionable insights, and meaningful opportunities for collaboration.
