Robotics & making
From moving models to sensor-driven ideas, students learn by building, testing and improving.

Little ideas.
Big possibilities.
Hi, I’m Shafeeda. I turn “what if?” into
“look what I built!”
Helping young minds explore robotics, discover coding and build the confidence to create something extraordinary.

01 / THE EDUCATOR
A classroom where
curiosity leads.
Technology is more meaningful when students get to create with it.
I’m a Robotics Teacher at PACE International School, Sharjah, and a STEM.org Certified Educational Instructor. I design hands-on learning experiences that bring coding, engineering and design thinking together.
From a first LEGO build to a competition challenge, my focus is the same: helping students ask better questions, work together and see mistakes as part of discovery.

02 / MY TEACHING TOOLKIT
Big learning.
Hands-on tools.
Real tools. Playful exploration.
Skills that go beyond the classroom.

Coding & ICT
Developing computational thinking through code, debugging and practical digital skills.
✳
Design & discovery
Connecting an imaginative question to a workable solution through inquiry and design thinking.
03 / THE CURIOSITY LAB
Small experiments.
Giant “aha!” moments.
A little taste of how I teach:
explore, try, reflect, improve.
INTERACTIVE CLASSROOM DEMOYou’re the robot’s
You’re the robot’s
programmer.
Help the robot reach the star. Add a sequence of moves, run your code and see what happens.
Each arrow moves one square. Start at the bottom left and find your way to the top right.
Your program starts here…
Ready when you are, inventor.

what if we could make it light up?ELECTRONICS + DESIGN
Make an idea light up
Connect inputs and outputs, simulate a circuit and explain what makes it work.
05 / THE JOURNEY
Built on technology.
Driven by teaching.
