Lincoln Corners Pakistan, operating as a network of American Spaces established through partnerships between the United States Mission to Pakistan and local institutions across the country, has announced a six-day intensive Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics Builder Training program in Karachi, organized in collaboration with AzCorp Entertainment. The initiative, titled Freedom 250 STEAM Builder Training, is being launched in celebration of Freedom 250, and is calling on makers, designers, engineers, and founders to apply for one of 20 available spots in what is being described as a hands-on innovation program with a tangible end goal rather than a conventional classroom-style course.
The program will run from May 11 to May 19, 2026, from 2:00 PM to 6:00 PM daily at Lincoln Corner Karachi, located at the Liaquat Memorial Library. Participants will receive training in computer-aided design and digital fabrication techniques, but the defining feature of the program is its project-based structure. Rather than producing isolated design exercises, all participants will collectively contribute to the construction of a three-foot-tall, precision-engineered replica of the Liberty Bell, which upon completion will be displayed at the United States Embassy in Islamabad. The project is intended to serve as both a skills development exercise and a cultural statement, connecting Pakistani makers and innovators with an American historical symbol through the medium of technology and fabrication. Lincoln Corners are vibrant multimedia learning and engagement centers created within universities, public libraries, and cultural centers across Pakistan for the youth to experience and learn about American culture, history, and values, with 19 Lincoln Corners currently established through partnerships between the United States Mission to Pakistan and selected local institutions.
AzCorp Entertainment, the Karachi-based entertainment and content company whose Chief Executive Officer Imran Azhar has previously described the organization’s mission as championing authentic regional storytelling, brings a creative and production-oriented dimension to the collaboration. AzCorp has established itself in the regional creative industry through partnerships with international studios focused on developing culturally diverse content for South Asian and Middle East and North Africa audiences, and its involvement in the Freedom 250 STEAM program signals a broadening of its footprint into technology-driven education and fabrication. The partnership between a United States government-affiliated educational network and a regionally grounded entertainment company reflects a model of collaboration that combines diplomatic cultural programming with practical innovation training, targeting the segment of Pakistani youth who are interested in bridging the gap between digital design skills and physical manufacturing. Applications for the program are open and can be submitted through the registration form, with seats limited to 20 participants.
