Technology and the UAE National Agenda.

As a student in Dubai, it makes a lot of sense for me to know about the: UAE National Agenda.  The UAE Agenda was developed by 300 officials and by 90 federal and local government entities. 
As you know, Yahya and I worked and created a project for the Tech Fair. If you didn't see the post under, (under the Yahya And Azaan Tech Fair 2016 (Grade 7) post) it was a car entirely made of Lego except the NXT box and the sensors. So Ms. Veena had told us that we needed to type below, on how our project is related to at least 1 out of the 6 parts of the Agenda. The 6 parts of the agenda are:

• Cohesive Society And Preserved Identity.
• Safe Public And Fair Judiciary. 
• Competitive Knowledge Economy.
• First-Rate Education System.
• World-Class Healthcare.
• Sustainable Environment And Infrastructure.

How is my Tech Fair creation and learning to one of the 6 pillars of the National Agenda?

Well, I feel that the Wheelie Cyclone (the project) is great in so many ways it also isn't. Personally, I feel that the Wheelie Cyclone goes under "First-Rate Education System," because, that pillar relates to learning and education, and a little bit of the “Sustainable Environment and Infrastructure” pillar, because of the building of the model and building relates to infrastructure.  

I've learnt how to program and use an "NXT 2.0 software." and that, what Yahya and I have been doing, is called, "Lego Engineering." Today, also, I learnt that: People can actually make a living out of Lego Engineering!   

From my point of view, Yahya had learnt how to build a model out of a different type of Lego; when we were making our Quad-Copter, we were using Lego of which was from the Lego meant for playing with. The difference between the 2 is that there are more pieces in the Mindstorms set than in the normal Lego set. 

Finally, my final lesson, that (sort of) links to the, “First-Rate Education System," pillar of the UAE national Agenda is: Whenever you want to do something and you have a limited amount of time, just keep doing it and don’t stop. This was a huge mistake that Yahya and I made. We changed our project from making Wall-E to making a Quad-Copter (that doesn’t really count.). Then we changed it again to making a Quad-Copter to a Mindstorms Lego NXT 2.0 car. So next time, we should just stick to the idea of making a Quad-Copter.

A little bit of the, "Sustainable Environment and Infrastructure." applies here because, in the future, people might take our project and improve on it and use it as a base to work on. This relates a little bit to the Sustainable Infrastructure.

Hopefully, we will move on and also, MORE importantly, Sheikh Muhammad Ibn Rashid Al Makhtoum will make his 7 years vision come true.
