6th Annual Back to School Campaign

Sixth annual Back to School campaign supports our neighbors in Thuwal and Qadimah!

As part of our yearly Back to School Campaign, the KAUST community is invited to help enhance student experience by providing essential school supplies to start the year off right.

This year we have added an exciting new component to the school bags – robotics kits. This educational hands-on activity allows students to build their own walking robot, while learning to problem-solve, think creatively and engage with new ways of learning.

The campaign will run from August 14 to September 18.

Get Involved!
