The fifth edition of the STEM-FD scientific camp has officially launched as one of the strategic projects of the Ministry of Education and Higher Education, represented by the Educational Guidance Department and the Curriculum and Learning Resources Department under the After School Projects initiative. The camp is being held at the headquarters of the Qatar Scientific Club, with the participation of a select group of Qatari students from grades eight, nine, and ten.
The camp is organised in cooperation with the Qatar Scientific Club and will continue until 9 May. During the programme, students will take part in a field visit to the Qatar Rehabilitation Center التابعة لـ Hamad Medical Corporation.
The camp aims to develop students’ skills in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, alongside financial and digital literacy, by applying these skills to the design and manufacture of smart and sustainable prosthetic arms and limbs that contribute to improving quality of life and reducing costs. This takes place within an educational framework that promotes innovation, scientific research, critical thinking, and problem-solving.
The camp also provides participants with the opportunity to engage in practical challenges that simulate real-world problems within an interactive learning environment that encourages teamwork and involvement in applied scientific projects, under the supervision of expert trainers and specialists in the field of smart prosthetics.
