The Pakistan Innovation Quest (PIQ), implemented by the Pi Space Science Education Centre in partnership with the World Robot Olympiad Association and powered by Aramco, is expanding access to robotics and STEM learning across Pakistan. The initiative aims to reach 10,000 learners and 300 teachers through more than 60 RoboStarter Sprints, regional competitions, and a National Showcase. PIQ provides free training in public and private schools, low-income communities, NGO-supported institutions, and girls' schools, including specialized support for deaf students at Deaf Reach School. The movement has already trained over 6,000 learners and 518 teachers across cities like Karachi, Lahore, Hyderabad, Gujranwala, and Kasur, involving around 60 institutions. PIQ targets more than 40 percent female participation and plans to donate 100 robotics kits to underserved institutions.
