Dubai Internet City sponsors IT Exhibition for the youth, by Emirates International School

"This is the very first IT exhibition to be held by a High School in Dubai. We saw it as the perfect opportunity to fulfil a social corporate responsibility and a way to spread important IT knowledge and inspire creativity amongst the youth of our community," commented Azza Sajdi, Brand Manager of Dubai Internet City.

The event was inaugurated through a cake-cutting ceremony by Mr. Khalaf Al Habtoor, Chairman of Al Habtoor Group, Mr. Mohammed Al Habtoor, Chairman of Emirates International School, and Mr. Fareed Abdulrahman, Director of Sales at Dubai Internet City.

The event was a means of raising awareness of new developments in information technology, to help students learn about the ways in which some of these technologies can help them, and to provide students with a broad sense of opportunities in the fast growing industry. Some topics discussed were image processing, sound synthesis, networking systems, printing technology, e-learning systems, computer accessories and web hosing.
