Two Qatari innovators clinch first place at ITEX in Malaysia
QNA Doha Qatari innovators Amna Issa Al Kuwari and Fatima Issa Al Kuwari clinched first place and the gold medal in the individual category during their participation in the 36th International Invention, Innovation, and Technology Exhibition (ITEX), recently held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. This crowning achievement was the outcome of an innovative concept and rigorous research efforts, culminating in the development of a smart bracelet designed to prevent drowsiness-induced traffic accidents. The device functions by detecting early signs of fatigue and issuing immediate alerts to drivers, thereby bolstering road safety and curbing accident rates. The project aligns squarely with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the objectives of Qatar National Vision 2030. The two innovators touted this milestone and affirmed that the win reflects their love for science and development, an organic outcome of their diligent work and the significant support young Qataris receive from the prudent leadership. Both winners highlighted the energized efforts made by the Qatar Scientific Club in providing technological support, which helped advance this innovation throughout the implementation phases, commencing with the idea and culminating in the prototype phase. This smart bracelet has so far received local and international awards, thereby confirming its effectiveness in fostering traffic safety and highlighting the growing creative capabilities of Qatar's young people on the global stage.

MoEHE concludes 4th edition of STEM-FD Science Camp with innovative projects in smart prosthetics
Tribune News Network Doha The Ministry of Education and Higher Education (MoEHE) on Saturday concluded the fourth edition of the STEM-FD Science Camp, organised in cooperation with Qatar Scientific Club, and Hamad Medical Corporation. The two-week camp featured the participation of 39 male and female students from 30 schools, ranging from grades VIII to X. The final day of the camp featured a showcase of projects by participating students, who successfully designed and implemented nine advanced models of smart prosthetic limbs (arms), offering innovative solutions in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). The projects were delivered within an interactive learning environment that fostered creative thinking and teamwork. The participating projects reflected the students' advanced skills in designing and manufacturing smart and sustainable prosthetics, and their high level of proficiency in employing scientific knowledge to serve humanity. In her speech at the closing ceremony, Sarah Issa Al-Shraim, director of the Curriculum and Learning Resources Department at the MoEHE, commended the efforts of the students and supervisors, highlighting the importance of the camp in supporting the learning of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) subjects and their application in real-life and practical contexts, enhancing students' future skills. Fatima Ali Al Mohannadi, Director of Administrative and Financial Affairs at the Qatar Scientific Club, expressed her appreciation for the fruitful cooperation between the organizing bodies, emphasizing the active role of the students in presenting quality projects that reflect their awareness of challenges and their ability to offer solutions of scientific and societal value. For his part, student Saleh Al-Nusf from Tariq Bin Ziyad Secondary School for Boys delivered a speech on behalf of his fellow participants, saying, 'We worked to develop prosthetic limbs not only to replace what was lost, but also to prove that technology can be a noble, humanitarian force that continues to give.' Camp organizers praised the students' enthusiasm and participation, emphasizing that such educational initiatives contribute to strengthening the national drive toward building a knowledge- and innovation-based society and empowering a new generation of students capable of transforming science into effective practical and real-life applications.

Education ministry launches 4th edition of 'STEM-FD' scientific camp to design smart prosthetics
DOHA: The Ministry of Education and Higher Education has launched the fourth edition of the 'STEM-FD' scientific camp at the Qatar Scientific Club, as part of the strategic project "After the School Bell." The camp brings together a group of Qatari students from grades eight, nine, and ten, aged between 13 and 15 years. The camp is organized in collaboration with the Qatar Scientific Club and Hamad Medical Corporation, represented by the Prosthetics Center. It will run until May 17, with activities later moving to the Qatar Rehabilitation Center, which is part of Hamad Medical Corporation. The camp aims to enhance students' skills in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), along with financial and digital literacy. Participants will use these skills to design and create smart and sustainable prosthetic limbs, contributing to improved quality of life and cost reduction. The camp's framework encourages innovation, scientific research, and the development of critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Participants will face practical challenges that simulate real-world problems within an interactive learning environment, which fosters teamwork and engagement in hands-on scientific projects. The camp is guided by a team of expert trainers and professionals in the field of smart prosthetics. This edition of the camp underscores the Ministry of Education and Higher Education's commitment to bridging theoretical education with practical application, providing inspiring educational experiences that enhance future competencies among students and contribute to the achievement of sustainable development goals by investing in national human capital.
