Islamabad:The Ministry of Federal Education and Professional Training has said it is striving to shape the future by equipping students with essential skills to thrive in the ever-evolving world of technology.

Officials said the ministry's Robotic Lab initiative served as more than just engaging activities as they're a gateway to innovation.

The officials said Robotic Labs played a crucial role in fostering a future-ready workforce. They said those labs encouraged creativity and critical thinking as students learned to design, build and programme robots, cultivating a growth mindset.

The officials said the ministry was preparing students for future careers in industries such as engineering, artificial intelligence and automation by providing the skills necessary for tomorrow's job market.

They said the labs also emphasised teamwork and collaboration. The officials said robotics projects required students to work together, enhancing their social and communication skills.
