Bahrain Space Agency launches new website to enhance public engagement
The website features a modern design and easy navigation, allowing visitors to access key information about the agency's vision, goals, initiatives, and current and future space projects. It also offers details on the national space policy, the agency's strategic plan, and the latest news, events, and announcements.
The site includes an interactive platform showcasing the agency's services, educational programmes, and a dedicated section for children and youth with activities, competitions, and interactive games.
Hussain Abdullatif, Chief Information Officer at BSA, said the new website marks a significant step in enhancing the agency's digital presence and making its information and services more accessible. He added that the platform reflects Bahrain's ambitions in space science and technology and serves as a window for researchers, partners, and the public to follow BSA's journey and achievements.
He expressed hope that the website would foster effective communication with all community segments and inspire a new generation of Bahraini youth to engage in this promising sector and contribute to Bahrain's Vision 2030. He invited everyone to visit the new website at www.bsa.gov.bh.

Reboot Expands AI Education in Bahrain with First-of-its-Kind Programs to Equip Youth with Future-Ready Skills
Reboot Coding Institute, the Kingdom's largest tech hub and coding program focused on nurturing future tech talent, is strengthening its commitment to advancing Bahrain's AI capabilities with two new initiatives designed to empower professionals and youth with future-ready skills. Reboot will launch the AI Generalists Program this September, with the goal of training 1,000 individuals per year. The program is designed to equip Bahraini professionals with practical AI skills to enhance productivity, integrate AI tools into business operations, and drive innovation across sectors such as Industry & Manufacturing, Oil & Gas, Education, Start-Up, and Healthcare. The course covers key topics such as AI-assisted automation, prompt engineering, ethical AI use, and hands-on applications in sectors like education, finance, and healthcare. Participants who complete the program will receive Ministry of Labor accredited certificates, gaining a competitive edge in an evolving job market. Complementing this professional focus, Reboot will also lead the AI First Training Program at Youth City 2025, introducing young learners aged 15 and above to coding and generative AI through immersive, project-based workshops. Designed by 01Edu, the program will be the first of its kind to be conducted in the GCC, blending coding fundamentals with AI exploration in a gamified, collaborative learning environment. In just five days, participants will progress from no prior experience to creating functional web projects, developing teamwork and problem-solving skills, and understanding how AI can be used as a creative tool rather than a replacement for human effort. These initiatives build on Reboot's broader AI education framework, which also includes an AI Specialization Track within its flagship two-year coding program. This six-month, project-based deep dive takes learners through the full data science pipeline using Python, covering data analysis, machine learning, natural language processing, and deep learning. Reboot's impact is already evident through its growing community of graduates working as AI Engineers at leading organizations, including Raincode, where they build AI solutions for banks and companies across Europe; KPMG's AI Department, contributing to enterprise and government-level AI and ML solutions; and Al Salam Bank, where they support the bank's internal AI solutions team. 'Artificial intelligence is rapidly reshaping every sector, and it's crucial that Bahrain's workforce is ready to lead, not just adapt. Through the AI Generalists Program and the AI First workshops at Youth City 2025, we're making AI skills accessible to both professionals and the youth, helping them apply these tools ethically and effectively. Combined with our in-depth AI specialization track, we're creating clear pathways for anyone to move from AI fundamentals to advanced applications that solve real-world challenges.' said Yanal Jallad, Reboot's Managing Director. These initiatives reaffirm Reboot Coding Institute's role as a leading provider of future-focused tech education in Bahrain, bridging the gap between emerging technologies and real-world applications.

Bahrain Skies To Dazzle With Rare Celestial Events
Astronomy enthusiasts in Bahrain are in for a spectacular treat, as multiple celestial phenomena are set to illuminate the night skies from the evening of Monday, August 11, until just before sunrise on Tuesday, August 12, 2025. The phenomena will be visible for 10 hours and 52 minutes, provided weather conditions allow for clear skies. Bahraini astronomer Ali Al-Hajri revealed that the rare astronomical sequence includes sightings of Mars, Saturn, the Moon, the Perseid meteor shower, and a striking conjunction of Venus and Jupiter — all in one night. The night will begin with the planet Mars appearing low on the western horizon shortly after sunset. Mars will be 95% illuminated and positioned at an altitude of 28 degrees, gradually descending as the evening progresses. The planet will be 325 million kilometers from Earth, and its light will take approximately 18 minutes and 4 seconds to reach observers. Later in the evening, stargazers will witness the Moon approaching Saturn in the eastern sky. Starting around 9:30 p.m., the two celestial bodies will be separated by approximately 10 degrees, drawing closer throughout the night. By sunrise on Tuesday, the Moon will be just 7 degrees and 27 minutes from Saturn. The Moon will be in a waning gibbous phase, 92.5% illuminated, and about 370,000 kilometers from Earth — its light reaching the planet in just over one second. Saturn, meanwhile, will be almost fully illuminated (99.9%) and located at a distance of 1.3 billion kilometers, with its light taking over one hour and 13 minutes to arrive.
