Tinkering Studio - Learning spaces for innovative minds

The College of Engineering at Abu Dhabi University organized the 5th Annual COE STEM Programming with AI Competition 2025 , an inspiring event that brought together some of the brightest young minds from across the UAE. This year, the theme of the competition was Artificial Intelligence , encouraging students to explore how AI can be applied to understand, analyse, and solve real-world challenges through creativity, innovation, and responsible use of technology. A major highlight of this prestigious event was the AI-Powered Problem-Solving Challenge , where participants were required to solve a real-life problem within a 3-hour timeframe using modern AI tools, logical reasoning, and advanced programming techniques. This high-energy challenge tested not only the students’ technical knowledge but also their ability to think critically under pressure. We are immensely proud to announce that five students from Grade 11 represented Mayoor Private School with great enthusiasm and determina...

  Temperature is everywhere — in the classroom, in the kitchen, and in the lab — but converting between Celsius, Fahrenheit, and Kelvin can sometimes be confusing. To make those conversions instant and visible, Grade 6 students of Mayoor Private School - Ryan Veera Kumar, Vasudev Subhash, Jared Aneesh Grigary -  designed The Universal Thermometer , a compact Arduino-based device that measures temperature and displays it simultaneously in °C, °F and K . Using a DS18B20 temperature sensor connected to an Arduino and an I²C LCD, the students programmed the system to read ambient temperature in Celsius, calculate the equivalent Fahrenheit and Kelvin values, and show all three readings on the LCD screen. The result is a handy, real-world tool for quick classroom demonstrations, experiments, and everyday curiosity — for example, converting 30°C to Fahrenheit at the press of a button. The project also highlighted how closely temperature ties into mathematics. The team used simple...
