Bahraini high school students are set to gain handson exposure to artificial intelligence and financial education at ‘THE TAKEOFF’ exhibition later this month, as part of a new youth-focused initiative by the AlMabarrah AlKhalifia Foundation (MKF).

The exhibition, scheduled for June 28th, will be held under the patronage of Her Highness Shaikha Zain bint Khalid bin Abdulla Al Khalifa, Chairperson of MKF’s Board of Trustees, and aims to equip students aged 16 to 18 with the skills and confidence to navigate today’s fast-changing job market.

MKF has signed memorandums of understanding with Education Zone and Mubasher Capital, bringing together academic aptitude mapping through AI and practical insights into investment principles.

The event will feature interactive sessions, including AI-driven assessments to help teens identify their academic strengths and personalised career paths.

Mean while, Mubas her Capital will offer foundational workshops on finance and trading, designed to introduce participants to the workings of capital markets in a language young people can grasp.

Empowering Future Leaders “At MKF, we strive to curate educational experiences that inspire innovation and leadership among young people,” said Her Highness Shaikha Zain. “These partnerships represent a meaningful step toward equipping students with the resources and guidance necessary to shape their future with clarity and confidence.”

Rather than being a conventional university fair, ‘THE TAKEOFF’ blends career guidance, academic planning, and skill-building into one immersive event.

It reflects a wider shift in Bahrain’s youth development strategy towards early preparation, leadership cultivation, and public-private collaboration. For more details about ‘THE TAKEOFF’, readers can visit www.mkfbh.org or contact MKF directly
