It fosters an immersive and enjoyable learning experience about Qatar's social heritage and culture while equipping them with the skills required for the future.

NMoQ organizes free creative workshops and field trips to complement the Digital Center for Youth launch throughout the summer, catering to children aged 8-16. These activities will run from June to August, allowing young participants to explore their creative potential.

The Digital Center for Youth is a testament to the collaboration between NMoQ and Microsoft as they cultivate an innovative learning environment for young people in Qatar.
