Saudi Students Win Remarkable Prizes In an International Science Fair
A team consisting of 20 Saudi students have participated in Intel ISEF fair -a leading US science and engineering fair- and the largest pre-college science competition in the world.
The fair was held in Phoenix, Arizona, and five Saudi students were brought together with 1,800 finalists from 80 countries, to compete for awards in innovative research.
Winners of major prizes were Abdullah Al-Sannan and Dima Al-Melhem, who won fourth place for their environmental engineering project.
In fourth place came, Wud Al-Saadoon, a project in chemical energy; Haya Al-Tuwaijry, who also won fourth place for a botany project; and last but not least Shawq Al-Madani, who won third place for an environmental engineering project.
Those bright students who attended the science fair were representatives from King Abdul Aziz and his Companions Foundation for Giftedness and Creativity (Mawhiba).
Three astounding prizes were also handed to the Saudi scientific team. The University of Arizona awarded Al-Madani with a scholarship; while Al-Saadoon won a special prize offered by United Technologies and finally, Noorah Al-Dosari received a special award from NASA!
Mawhiba secretary-general, Saud bin Saeed Al-Mathami, congratulated the students and praised Saudi Basic Industries Corporation (SABIC) for its sponsorship of the Saudi team.
He also highlighted the need for a strategic partnership between SABIC and Mawhiba; in training and showing support to the bright young minds of Saudi students. Which moves in accordance with the Kingdom’s Vision 2030 and the National Transformation Program 2020.
The “Roads of Arabia: Masterpieces of Antiquities in Saudi Arabia Across the Ages” exhibition which is currently held in Rome and organized by the Saudi Commission for Tourism and National Heritage, has witnessed great praise from visitors of the museum and the director of the National Roman Museum, Alessandra Capodiferro.
The director of the museum expressed pride in her museum hosting such an important international Saudi exhibition that offers an insight on the the civil heritage of the Kingdom and the Arabian Peninsula for more than five million visitors.
The exhibition was inaugurated last November on the 26th by Saudi Culture Minister Prince Badr bin Abdullah, and so far it has been hosted by several other prominent international museums.
Capodiferro also expressed pride in the international reputation achieved by the exhibition, which features several artifacts of great significance, including hunting gear, weapons, jewelry, utensils made from precious metals, glass, alabaster, ceramics, sculptures and wall paintings — all of which are an expression of local production, trade exchange and cultural contact.
The exhibition highlights the civilizations of the Arabian Peninsula in addition to giving examples of the cultural interaction between the Roman and Arab civilizations.
