HTU Student Clubs Conduct Interactive Tech and Engineering Workshops at Al-Omariya Girls’ Schools

A group of student clubs from Al Hussein Technical University (HTU), one of the initiatives of the Crown Prince Foundation, organized four interactive training workshops at Al-Omariya Girls’ Schools, introducing students to the fundamentals of game development, programming, app building, and the link between coding and engineering. At the end of the workshops, participants received certificates of completion in recognition of their engagement and participation.

The initiative reflects HTU’s ongoing commitment to empowering school students through early exposure to technology and innovation, while showcasing the active role of its student clubs in sharing knowledge and inspiring younger generations.

Game Development and Virtual Reality Club (GDVC)

The GDVC organized a mini-course titled “Game Mechanics”, led by the club president, Ahmad Abu Hjeer. The session introduced participants to the principles of game design and development, highlighting how school subjects such as mathematics and physics play a role in building games. The workshop also explored popular game genres and engines, with a special focus on virtual and augmented reality technologies, providing a demonstration of how AR tools can be used to design interactive games.

Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) Club

The ACM Club delivered a hands-on workshop titled “One Hour of Coding”, where members introduced the basics of programming logic and computer language through interactive exercises. Using games and real-life problem-solving scenarios, the team demonstrated how everyday challenges can be addressed using programming concepts. The session concluded with a collaborative coding challenge, where participants worked in groups to develop a simple program from scratch.

Google Developer Student Club (GDSC)

Under the title “Build Your First Application”, the GDSC team guided students through the theoretical and practical steps of mobile application development using tools tailored to their experience level. Participants learned how to create and test their own applications with hands-on guidance from HTU students. The workshop also introduced the GDSC’s mission, activities, and community engagement efforts at HTU.

Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Club

The IEEE Club hosted a two-hour session titled “The Coding and Engineering Workshop”, led by the club president. The workshop demonstrated the connection between coding and engineering, explaining algorithms, their applications, and how they can be integrated into engineering problem-solving. Students worked in groups to apply algorithmic thinking to structured problem-solving exercises. The session concluded with practical career advice from the club’s leadership to help students identify their future academic and professional interests.

Through these workshops, HTU’s student clubs reaffirmed their dedication to promoting STEM education, inspiring young female students to explore future paths in technology and engineering.
