About CIST

We empower children to be more.

CIST is an organization that cares about the leaders of tomorrow. We believe children are a powerful force that can build the future, so we are inspired to build their present by providing them access to fantastic learning opportunities in science and technology.

We adopt an innovative learning system that includes fun activities and the environment around the children as a natural lab, ensuring that the scientific education of children is tailored to their exact nature and needs.

Creativity and Invention

We prioritise new methods of learning, away from the traditional, formal methods. Our organisation constantly seeks new ways to incorporate the learning of science, technology and mathematics into the everyday activities of children. Moreover, we encourage children to try out new things and reward them for their little successes.

Practical Learning

While theory is no doubt indispensable, we place great emphasis on practical approaches and ensure that different scientific and technological concepts and principles are put into practical use.

Societal Development

At CIST, we recognise that people, including children, are agents of social change. Thus, we uphold activities that underline social values and sensitize children on crucial issues in society.

Gender Equity

We ensure that both boys and girls are provided with the maximum opportunity, resources and teaching that they need to become the best version of themselves.
