Genius plane Academy
Genius Planet Academy was founded in 2015 by four Syrian engineers: Lina Al-Daker, Nour Orfahly, Walaa Al-Mukhalalati, and Laila Al-Mulki. They shared a common goal and belief in the importance of the tech industry’s role in today’s world, recognizing the urgent need for a safe, comfortable, and scientifically robust environment to build a productive and effective generation that contributes to a true technological renaissance.
Genius Planet expanded its activities to include various innovative and child-friendly events, such as Scratch Day and Hour of Code. These are voluntary, unpaid events organized by Planet Genius to introduce children to a world filled with technological passion.
In 2024, Genius Planet Academy was launched, offering specialized programming tracks that start children and adolescents from zero and guide them toward professional levels.
Genius Planet Academy aims to transform the consumer behavior of technology into a productive one through creative methods and an environment filled with fun, benefits, and friendship. This is done within the framework of knowledge and technical empowerment while considering the ethical standards that align with the principles of our Arab societies. The academy offers programming labs and specialized tracks for children and adolescents aged 5 to 17 years.
