STEMverse Partners With Mufakker to Boost Inclusive STEM Education in Pakistan
STEMverse has announced a new partnership with Mufakker to expand inclusive STEM education for children with special needs across Pakistan. The collaboration began at GITEX Global 2025 in Dubai. Leaders from both organizations expressed their shared aim to improve learning for children with autism,
Down syndrome, and other learning challenges.
STEMverse, founded by Mashaal Jawad, continues to grow quickly. The institute now leads hands-on science and robotics education in Pakistan. It has trained more than 2,500 students so far. In addition, it runs STEM curriculum programs, after-school learning centers, and a gamified mobile app for remote communities.
Mufakker, led by founder Maali Diab, focuses on language-based educational tools. Their games and digital materials help children who learn differently. These tools build communication, cognitive abilities, and language development. As a result, students can learn at their own pace in a supportive environment.
A New Approach to Accessible Learning
Under this partnership, both organizations will create hybrid learning content. This content will blend robotics and engineering with accessible, language-rich tools. Therefore, the experience will support students with diverse learning needs.
Jawad highlighted that many traditional classrooms overlook such learners. However, she believes technology can fill these gaps. The STEMverse mobile app, for example, offers gamified lessons that reach students in areas with limited STEM access.
The collaboration aims to set a new standard for inclusive education. If it succeeds, it may guide other initiatives across the region. Both teams hope to reshape how special needs education connects with STEM learning, making it more adaptive and meaningful for every child.
