Programmers Zone

An Augmented Reality App Developer and an author for Augmented Reality books , Sara Dara , started her journey while graduating as a software engineer. My passion is to spread knowledge about technology and this led me to expand my career as an entrepreneur in 2019 with establishing the Programmers Zone in Abu Dhabi. I have taught more than 1000+ students , some of them made their way developing professional 3D models and apps at a very young age. My hard work earned us the best programming course award in 2020. I am keen to make sure my students get the best of IT programs from robotics to 3D modeling to animation to coding languages to game development, we cover it all , for kids and adults. We are also working to offer free programs and training in African countries to teach children and adults the programming languages that can help them to move forward and build a brighter future. Programmers Zone Is the first institute in Abu Dhabi which offers PCEP exam certification for Python Language. I conducted a workshop and a presentation at TESOL Arabia 2022 for augmented reality and a presentation about self awareness and emotional intelligence of students respectively. I will be presenting in ALLT Dubai,2023 at Zayed University about Augmented Reality and TESOL ARABIA 2023 about Innovation in the classroom. GESS Education speaker in 2023.

Implementing coding in other subjects enhances creativity and understanding

Coding can be used in other subjects to code and develop mini quizzes, and info apps. The presenter will shed light on how the subjects can collaterally help students to be more creative and understand it deeply: A student attending Python lessons can develop a program for mathematics. Coding is a key to developing programs. All applications we use in our daily lives are designed with programming. It is an integral part of our lives and work. Similarly, school subjects can no longer be taught in complete isolation. In the real world, real tasks require us to use several of our skills at the same time, merging them and blending them together. Coding is a serious academic subject in itself. However, linking the various distinct subjects our children learn not only improves learning but helps children see how these subjects support each other. Maths and science are subjects that are very well suited to being explored through coding like writing code.
