In an era defined by automation, data, and intelligent machines, the importance of teaching Artificial Intelligence (AI) and coding at school level cannot be overstated. The UAE AI Strategy 2031 aims to position the nation as a global leader in AI by investing in talent and education—and that starts in the classroom.

To support this mission, Cyber Square has developed a comprehensive AI coding curriculum tailored for primary and secondary schools across the UAE, designed to integrate seamlessly with CBSE, IB, British, and MOE education systems.

💡 Why UAE Schools Must Adopt AI and Coding Early

Introducing AI and coding from an early age builds:

  • 🧠 Logical thinking and problem-solving

  • 💡 Creativity and innovation

  • 🤖 Understanding of automation and machine learning

  • 🌐 Digital fluency and future readiness

Primary school students can grasp foundational programming concepts through visual tools, while secondary students can explore real-world AI applications, including chatbots, image recognition, and data analysis.
