Peshawar (TDI): STEMverse, a fast-growing STEM education institute based in Peshawar, has announced a partnership with the Palestinian educational technology company Mufakker to expand inclusive and non-traditional learning opportunities for children with special needs across Pakistan.
The agreement was formalized during the GITEX Global 2025 event in Dubai, where both organizations emphasized their shared commitment to transforming learning for children with autism, Down syndrome, and other learning difficulties.
Founded by Mashaal Jawad, STEMverse has rapidly positioned itself as a leading player in hands-on science and robotics education. The organization has already trained more than 2,500 students across Pakistan and offers a three-tier system.
It offers STEM curriculum programs, after-school learning centers, and a gamified mobile application designed specifically to reach students in remote or underserved communities.
Mufakker, led by founder Maali Diab, brings deep expertise in language-driven educational tools aimed at children who struggle in traditional schooling environments.

Their specialized games and digital learning materials focus on building communication, cognitive skills, and language development, helping children engage meaningfully with educational content at their own pace.
Under the new collaboration, STEMverse and Mufakker will jointly produce hybrid educational content that merges engineering and robotics with linguistically rich, accessibility-focused learning tools.
By combining STEMverse’s technical curriculum with Mufakker’s learning-support methodologies, the partners aim to offer a more inclusive and adaptive educational experience.
A key component of STEMverse’s mission remains reaching rural and marginalized communities. Mashaal Jawad highlighted that traditional classrooms frequently fail to meet the needs of diverse learners, but technology offers scalable solutions.
She added that the STEMverse mobile app, designed as a gamified learning platform, is particularly crucial for areas where regular STEM instruction remains inaccessible.
Through this pioneering partnership, STEMverse and Mufakker aim to reshape how special needs education intersects with STEM learning. If successful, the initiative could serve as a blueprint for inclusive, technology-driven education across the region.
Established in December 2008, The Diplomatic Insight is Pakistan’s premier diplomacy and foreign affairs magazine, available in both digital and print formats.
