I. Experimental and National Schools Summer Camp: June 2014
AAF held 4 sessions from June 1st – June 26th,
2014, for grades 4, 5 and 6 as well as grades 7,
8 and 9, for a total of 124 students. The summer
program was based on practical work and creative learning activities that encourage
students’ natural curiosity and helps develop their
problem solving and critical thinking skills. A representative from the Ministry of Education visited
our office to see the summer program offered and
how the students are responding to it.
The Summer Camp Activities
1. Robotics
2. Cars
3. Rockets
4. Electronics
5. Try Engineering Series (more than 100 Engineering projects) : Building Wind Mills, Towers and
Bridges, Ferry wheels, measuring win and more.

Engineering concepts and robotics basics to build
a robot to perform different tasks based on the engineering design and enables students to build and
program real-life robotic solutions. Students use the
programmable NXT Brick; three interactive servo motors; ultrasonic, sound, light, and two touch sensors.
Robotics activities experiences:
• Allows for creativity in design.
• Enables students to explore the world of engineering by building complex control systems.
• Students can go further in the future with Another Module designed to prepare students to the World Robotics
Olympiad in Egypt and Winners will represent Egypt in the international finals.

2. Cars
Creative Learning Activities educate, excite, engage and
entertain young people and will ignite kids’ natural curiosity, challenging them to create, problem solve and apply their ideas to invent things they can keep and share
with others. To achieve this unique blend of education,
invention, and entrepreneurship, the program! Has ad-
opted the learning model used by Thomas Edison and
thousands of other inventors and applied it to learning for
kids. Designed to teach kids about science, math, invention, entrepreneurship, innovation and creativity through
engagement with adult-led hands-on projects, Kids Invention Projects are based on sound scientific principles.
3. Rockets Engineering
Students will learn about rocketry engineering history and concepts then build their own water rocket and try it
practically.
4. Electronics
Students will learn about the basic of electronics and build their own power supply, radio and other electronics projects.

5. TryEngineering
Get introduced to the world of Engineers through Try Engineering show. During the show teams from the audience (Students and Families) will compete together and
work as a team of Engineers by putting the designs and
meeting the specifications of products and devices. For
instance they learn about how for example Ferries wheel
or a windmill work and build them using macaroni, tea
bags and other materials used at home. More than 100
projects available. Topics will be: Bridges, Towers, Wind
Mills, Ferries wheels and measuring wind.

III. Famous Structures Course for National and Experimental schools – August 2014
A six days course took place in AAF premises,
where 13 students (Primary 4, 5, and 6) from
Experimental schools (Millennium Schools) participated.
Eligible students are offered the opportunity to
engage in challenging academic work in the
company of peers who shared their exceptional
abilities and love of learning.
It introduces the students to explore famous
ancient and modern structures, and figure out
how and why they were designed, built and still
standing through the various engineering models. Famous Structures course will give to students a little engineer the chance to figure out
and easily understand shape strength, forces,
loads and material structure and most importantly applying them in a smart functioning design.
Lesson plans / activities
1. Discovering how engineers design buildings to resist earthquakes and showing examples
of damages caused by earthquakes.
2. Designing and building a model of a highest tower possible and testing in through
different loads.
3. Discussing the factors engineers consider when designing foundations for a tower.
4. Understanding shapes and comparing different shape strengths.
5. Understanding geodesic domes and how they are built.
6. Understanding different types of bridges and their different properties and usage.
7. Constructing model bridges that can withstand different loads.

Vision
Values
The learning Schools Trust will operate outstanding
schools in which every student, through personalized
learning and clear goals, will stretch their boundaries and

They give each student a foundation for personal development where self-discipline, self-knowledge, sense of
responsibility and confidence in one´s own ability provide the basis for a constructive attitude, the essence of
which is that life is what I make.

They believe that young people are capable of achieving amazing things. To be successful they need the right
opportunities, the right support, the right resources and
the right environment. What those opportunities, support
and facilities are will be different for each of them. The
new iconic building, the curriculum and the way teachers

Celebrating 25 Years of Contribution in Human Resource
Development and Education
Al Alfi Foundation for Human and Social Development celebrated its 25th anniversary of its founding on the 3rd of December 2014, at the Four Seasons Hotel under the auspices of Engineer Ibrahim
Mahlab, Egypt Prime Minister, and in the presence
of a number of Ministers, Businessmen’s, AAF Board
Members and more than 300 attendees in
addition to Al Alfi Foundation Fellows.
Through his speech, Mr. Moataz Al Alfi, Chairman of
the Board, Al Alfi Foundation, expressed his happiness for the presence of the ministers and notable
businessmen, professors and teachers who were for
him, the best colleagues, who struggled with perseverance throughout the 25 years of the institution,
he described students as the “flame of hope”.
He added: “Today we celebrate the path of 25 years
of participating in the areas of human and education
development, 25 years we have learned that Egypt
is a rich country, contrary to what is said, of course,
Egypt’s wealth is not oil wealth and not in cash, but
the precious mankind development, if it is well contributed, could enrich us all, 25-years we believed in
the need to achieve tangible results with the goal of
Egypt’s human development, so as not to get carried away on our way no matter what difficulties we
faced, 25 years we walk them through the difficult
and arduous, and contrary to what some think is
not furnished with flowers, in this long journey and
modest we passed through tough moments where
vision was blurry. “
He continued: “After 25 years during which more
than 110,000 students participated and enrolled
in the Foundation’s programs, and after that, more
than 500 students, on scholarships, enrolled in
Egyptian and international universities, today and
after the participation of dozens of schools in the
Foundation’s programs, I tell them, certainly the experience has shown that a small drop of water can
flower sprout with insisting and perseverance, and
that the past 25 years have taught us all, that we fail
only when we stop trying. “
Success stories were mentioned, how the organization has contributed to their support in the scientific
and practical careers.
The most prominent of the success stories of the
Egyptian world, is a young man who did not exceed
23-years-old, he was able to get his doctoral degree
in nanotechnology. Mustafa Osman graduated in the
International Baccalaureate in Cairo, when he was
under sixteen years of age, a specialist in electronics
science and nanotechnology, with the sponsorship
of Al Alfi Foundation he was able to get a support
to travel to Britain, attended the British University in
London to study nanotechnology and master in new
