Fatima Al Kaabi's Bio

Provided by Manhom

The youngest Emirati inventor.

Since she was five years old, she has been inclined towards engineering toys, especially children’s constructions, and from one toy to another, at the age of seven, she was able to invent a group of distinctive robots that bear her fingerprints, while those of her age spend fun times playing and going out, with the material and moral support of her parents and teachers.

She is 13 years old and a student in the eighth grade at the "Sharjah British International School". The first device she invented was a robot that takes pictures of people. That was in 2012. She participated with it in the "12th Asia-Pacific Conference on Talent", and she was the youngest participant and inventor in the conference.

The second device was a celebration of the “Gulf 21” tournament, which was held in the Kingdom of Bahrain in June 2013, where a robot was created for the character “Umm Khamas” wearing a “Boteleh Jalabiya”, as an expression of this sporting occasion that is very popular among the people of the Gulf.

As a result of her distinguished innovations, the youngest Emirati inventor won first place in the “Robot Competition” competition, and during one of the “International White Cane Day” celebrations, she displayed her new invention, a “Braille Printer for the Blind” device made of “Lego” blocks. On the occasion of the UAE’s preparations, especially the Emirate of Dubai, to host “ Expo 2020 ”, Fatima created a special design to participate in this global event, but she did not disclose any details about it, stressing that she will announce it after it is approved by the competent authority.

In 2015, she was honored by Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum , Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, among 44 Emirati figures in the second session of the “Emirates Pioneers Initiative”, as the youngest Emirati inventor.
