In one of the most impactful collaborations shaping the region’s youth empowerment landscape, Sprints, the AI-powered EdTech innovator, partnered with Microsoft Ambassadors to deliver a fully-funded, career-transforming tech-equipping and upskilling learning experience under the Sprints x Microsoft Summer Camp initiative — and the results have been extraordinary.
In just two months, the initiative attracted 35,000+ applicants, with thousands of youth successfully completing immersive, hands-on training that equipped them with future-ready technology skills and the confidence to excel in the digital economy.
The program delivered 10 specialized learning tracks: DevOps, Web Development, Software Testing, Programming using Python, AI & Machine Learning, UI/UX Design, Product Management, Cybersecurity, Digital Marketing, and Mobile Development. Thousands of graduates completed real-world projects replicating industry challenges, gained valuable exposure to professional networks, and earned rebranded co-branded certificates — solidifying their credibility and competitiveness in the tech ecosystem.
Ayman Bazaraa, Cofounder & Chief Executive Officer at Sprints, stated: “At Sprints, our mission is to bridge the gap between young people’s skills and market needs. We’ve witnessed remarkable potential in youth who only needed the right opportunity to thrive. Through our partnership with Microsoft, we were able to equip them with the resources to exceed the threshold of their careers. Thousands have gained not only essential tech skills, but also the confidence and opportunities to shape the future they deserve.”
Bassam Sharkawy, Cofounder & Chief Strategy Officer at Sprints, said:”This initiative is more than training; it is proof of what’s possible when purpose and partnership come together. In just weeks, we’ve seen young people not only learn new skills but also, reimagine their futures with confidence and ambition. With Microsoft, we showed that collaboration can unlock human potential at scale, and we invite others to join us in shaping a future where opportunities are created, not awaited.”
