Signing of a Cooperation Agreement between German International School Doha (DS) and STEM xplorers for Edutainment Services (STEM)

On May 30th, 2018, a cooperation agreement was signed between DS – Doha and STEM xplorers to provide afterschool activities by the later. The agreement was signed for DS by its Principal, Mr. Dirk Dillschneider, and for STEM by its C.E.O, Mr. Nasfat Hunjul.

The agreement aims to offer workshops and courses by STEM to DS students during 2018/ 2019 academic year.

STEM xplorers has been established in 2013. It set out itself to be a leader in the field of Education and Entertainment (Edutainment), an area that hasn’t been explored much in Qatar. The company started within school and after school programs, focusing on hands-on science experiments together with entertainment and is now moving onto Science Shows, 3D movies, STEM, Lego Education, Robotics and much more. We look forward to this new cooperation.

Introduction

Sky Dome is a portable planetarium experiences to schools and publics in Qatar. We do have two digital mobile planetarium domes one is 6.5m and the other is 8m in diameter and we do not charge extra for bigger domes. Setting up each dome takes up to 45 minutes. We recommend that one of our staff to visit your location to test the location of the dome.

In Sky Dome, we bring the universe and the Natural sciences to educate your little astronomers. Our Sky Dome is inflatable, mobile and spacey that provide a cost effective, educational entertainment and excitement about different science topics to kids through an awesome 3-D science movies.

During our visit to your premises we will take your students on a 25 to 45-minutes journey to discover the world around them. Our sky domes are tremendous hit, whenever we visit any school or compounds the students and attendees will keep talking about them all day… It is something they will remember for the rest of their lives. Keep in mind that our rates are reasonable; our staff is more than friendly; our shows are engaging, educational and entertaining.

The children will be immersed in a wonderful world of micro-organisms and bacteria (Biology), outer space and the stars (Astronomy), rivers and mountains (Geography), Dinosaurs and rocks (Geology), plants (Botany). We believe that each science concept become more easily understood when reduced to imagery rather than in text books. The domes got booked very fast, so contact us today! You don’t want to miss out on the opportunity to bring this incredible experience to your location!

 

The Sky Dome!

We do have two indoor sky domes a 6 and 8 meters in diameter that can be quickly and easily set up in most gymnasiums or other large rooms with a ceiling 4.5 meter high at its lowest point.
