About Us
Welcome Message from Carol Jenkins, CEO
World Learning believes that the best hope for peace, justice, and sustainability lies in bringing people together. Through cultural immersion, experiential learning, and information sharing, our programs equip others to collaboratively address the most pressing issues of our time.
Throughout my years at World Learning, I have had the fortunate opportunity to meet with many of our participants, partners, and alumni—a global network of learners. Our programs help them understand other cultures, master new skills, and cultivate networks. Our teaching and training methodologies empower them to find locally relevant, sustainable, and implementable solutions. Our approaches emphasize flexibility and adaptability that help them tackle real-world problems. They, in turn, make extraordinary changes in their lives and communities.
Please join us—and those we work with and serve around the world—in our pursuit to create a brighter and better future for all.

Program Description
A hub for innovation where young minds flourish. The STEAM Discovery Center is an extracurricular STEAM education and teacher training institution.
The STEAM Discovery Center is an extracurricular STEAM education and teacher training institution. At the Center, we encourage every member to think creatively, solve real-world problems, and challenge their limitations. Our programs are fun, project-based learning experiences where students can make connections between school, their community, and the broader world. Our teacher training programs provide teachers with expertise in modern pedagogical best practices, such as experiential learning, Universal Design for Learning, and reflective practice, that will help spread our passion for STEAM teaching across the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
To my surprise, I noticed that my students were extremely happy when they had the chance to express their understanding of the lesson even though they made mistakes. The engagement of my students was so high that three students refused to leave my session when it ended and kept writing on the board.
