Honeywell will provide volunteer mentoring to science and engineering students through an annual series of STEM themed Innovation Day Camps. The partnership is aimed at benefiting up to 6,000 students over the next three years.
The agreement was signed by Sheikh Khaled Bin Zayed Bin Saqr Al Nahyan, Chairman, INJAZ UAE and Norm Gilsdorf, president, Honeywell Middle East, Russia and Central Asia, during a signing ceremony at the Burj Khalifa.

The students worked in teams to develop new travel, energy and communication technologies that could be used to create the city of the future.
