Awsaj Academy Students Awarded for Pioneering Research

Doha, July 07 (QNA) - Three students from Awsaj Academy, a member of Qatar Foundation for Education, Science and Community Development (QF), successfully claimed third prize for their research at the Seventh National Student Scientific Research Competition. The three students are Abdulla Al-Subaiey, Mohamed Khalid Al-Thani, and Abdulla Saad Al-Kaabi. The eighth grade students from Awsaj Academy have beaten off staunch competition from 199 competing schools in Qatar to claim third prize at a prestigious national research contest. Conscious of food security issues in Qatar, the three students impressed the judges with their research project entitled The Effect of LED Lighting on Lettuce Growth. Sponsored by the Supreme Education Council (SEC), the Seventh National Student Scientific Research Competition recently provided a unique opportunity for the 199 schools to showcase the independent research and creative innovation abilities of their young students in Qatar. Only 40 entries were selected at the initial stage, with eight teams then being shortlisted at the final stage. (QNA)
