Ali: From crushing to making the future

About the beginnings of his discovery of his talent, Ali Al-Muqrab, a middle school student, says: “I had a collection of games. One day, curiosity pushed me to explore the components of these games. This is where my actual journey in programming began.

I broke the game into small pieces and began to explore the pieces it was made of. I remember asking my mother about the name of one of the pieces, “dominoes.” I tried to understand the game’s structures and how it was assembled. I started with one game and another, breaking it and reassembling it to know how it worked. Over time, I found myself wondering what the benefit of this work was. Why don’t I do something special instead of breaking the game and restructuring it again?

I told myself to make a car with a single engine through the programming I learned from breaking the pieces of the games I had.

After that, my ambition was fulfilled and I began to aim to make bigger and more complex things. I met my teacher who noticed my passion and determination, so one day he gave me a robot, which was a turning point in my life.

I started self-learning by watching videos on YouTube, where I learned the basics of programming and the principles on which it is based.
My teacher noticed my self-education abilities and great enthusiasm, so he nominated me to participate in the "Best Scientific Innovation" competition organized by Fab Lab Al-Ahsa to coincide with the 93rd National Day. That moment was decisive for me. I hesitated at first due to the size of the projects adopted by the institution and its huge capabilities. But thanks to my mother's motivation and encouragement, I decided to participate in the competition and worked on the "Golden Hand" project, which is a design of a robot in the form of a glove with a robotic device (sensor) attached to the top of the glove. It is a project that simulates the way a blind cane works, or more accurately, a white stick (White stick), but in a smaller form and with different features than the features provided by the white stick, as I focused on projects related to medical engineering.
I do not hide that fear controlled me at first until I submitted the project and began to regain my self-confidence, and thanks to God Almighty, I was nominated, and I believed that my participation was a success in itself.
From a small game, I won a national project today, "Kingdom of Saudi Arabia" What an honor I have today, I am very happy with this award and grateful to this entity that embraced my talent and was the reason for putting the dots on the letters, as I discovered who Ali is and what his ambition and capabilities are
Ali continues his talk with enthusiasm and great confidence. I participated in many activities related to robotics.
A big thank you to the Abdul Moneim Al Rashid Humanitarian Foundation, for this containment and this creativity, as it is an incubator for every innovator and every ambition
This was the talk of the talented student Ali, who amazed the administration with his enthusiasm, passion and high ambition, until he was given the title of "Fab Lab Ambassador" and became an inspiration to his peers and fellow students
As for Ali Al-Muqrab's invention (Golden Hand), it has several advantages over the invention (White Stick), which are:
1 - Its weight is light and due to its light weight, it is lighter than the invention of the white stick.
2- It does not need to move the hand while operating it because of the presence of (servo motor) that moves the distance sensor

ultrasonic sensor) ) semicircle, i.e. from zero angle to 180 angle.

3- Its components are very simple and also available at home.

4- It is very easy to manufacture and does not take a long time to manufacture due to the ease of its components.

5- The device has 7 sound levels and its benefit is that it warns those who use this innovation from colliding with any barrier or any wall.

6- Its marketing method is easy and it has many advantages.
To encourage and motivate him, Ali Al-Muqrab received exceptional support from the management of the Abdul Moneim Al-Rashed Foundation through training and incubation, which reflects the foundation's commitment to sponsoring and supporting talented male and female students. The foundation seeks to develop their skills and provide them with opportunities to grow and innovate, to ensure a promising future for them and for society.
