Launched on July 4th 2010, the Al Ghurair University Discovery Center offers educators, students, and technology buffs a rare, "behind-the-scenes" glimpse into Intel's world of high technology.
Immerse yourself into a world of micro-miniature computer chips, be showered in Binary rain, crack a Binary code and understand what happens when millions of electronic components are packed into quarter-inch squares of silicon and time is measured in billionths of seconds. The Al Ghurair University Intel Discovery Center is Dubai’s first hands on interactive science exhibit designed to bring the science of semi conductors and micro chips alive.
Discover Center exhibits appeal to professional engineers and grade-school students alike, and are built to stimulate interest in technology and how it increasingly affects our daily lives. At the 1000 sq ft center you can be introduced to the world of micro-miniature computer chips, experience what it’s like inside ultra-clean, highly automated factories and see how computing and communications are converging in new types of digital devices. Key features of the Center include:
Binary Rain Experience your first Digital shower of rain. Go ahead and catch some as it falls.
The Fab Witness for yourself one of the most technically advanced manufacturing facilities in the world and see where tiny silicon chips are made.
Binary Code Learn how a series of 1’s and 0’s forms a Binary language then proceed to ‘talk’ to the computer in this unique way.
Get digitized! Use the newest digital technology to send a digital souvenir postcard to friends.
