PCS said it demonstrated its educational materials to Egyptian education partners, including the Ministry of Education, individuals involved in U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) projects, and other potential partners, beginning with a trial robotics competition program in conjunction with Bibliotech Alexandria and the Integrated Care Society, a philanthropic organization founded by Egypt's first lady, Suzanne Mubarak.

Robert Grover, president of PCS Edventures, said, "The success of the pilot program in Egypt illustrates our ability to teach easily adaptable hands-on learning with the robotics technology that has played a key role at PCS for more than 20 years." stated.
