Equipped with state-of-the-art 3D printers and digital fabrication tools, the lab will foster creativity, research, and hands-on learning among students and researchers.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we invest in young minds and create collaborative spaces, we lay the foundation for sustainable development,\u201d Tuna noted, expressing hope that the facility will serve as an incubator for new ideas and solutions.<\/p>\n

Highlighting TIKA\u2019s broader contributions, Tuna said the agency has completed 683 development projects in Pakistan since 2010, including 151 initiatives in the education sector alone.<\/p>\n

\"\"She cited several high-impact projects launched over the past year, including a Quantum Optics Lab at PIEAS, a Building Information Modeling (BIM) Lab at Hazara University, a Media Lab at Punjab University\u2019s Film and Broadcasting Department, and a Zoological Diversity Lab at Rawalpindi Women University. \u201cThese labs reflect TIKA\u2019s belief that education is the most powerful tool for transformation,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n
