The Al Akhawayn University in Ifrane will host the Festival of Learning on May 9 and 10, under the theme “Expanding Horizons and Unlocking Minds’ Potential.”
Organized by the School of Science and Engineering at Al Akhawayn University, the festival offers a rich program that includes scientific exhibitions, project presentations, media sessions, and employment opportunities for students from the School of Science and Engineering. It will also highlight graduation projects, undergraduate research, and collaboration initiatives between students, faculty researchers, and industry stakeholders.
According to a statement from Al Akhawayn University, the program will ensure students showcase their graduation projects, which serve as a culmination of their academic journey and demonstrate their ability to address tangible problems through innovative technological applications.
The source emphasized that each presentation, the result of months of research, development, and collaboration with industrial partners, will provide a unique glimpse into the approach students take to tackle complex challenges across various technological fields.
In another context, an event called “Speed Job Dating” is expected to be organized, offering companies the chance to meet directly with pre-selected graduates in technology fields to evaluate their cultural fit and technical competencies beyond what resumes can reveal. Additionally, contract-signing ceremonies for students will be held.
The festival will also feature a dedicated day for undergraduate research on quantum machine learning, aiming to highlight the innovative intersection of quantum computing and artificial intelligence. This will include media sessions presented by representatives of the research and development center of Oracle.
Additionally, a presentation will be made for the undergraduate research school; a structure aimed at introducing students to the fundamentals of applied research by guiding them in developing innovative solutions for industrial and managerial challenges.
This event will showcase 44 participating students presenting their projects and feasibility studies, with 20 to 30 of them selected based on the quality of their work and commitment.
