DOHA: Over 22,000 people visited ‘Energy World – Qatar 2015’ concluded at Doha Exhibition and Convention Centre. Held for the first time in Qatar and the Mena region, the event featured physical and digital exhibits, workshops and science shows encouraging everyone to ‘explore, make and learn.’
Over 5,000 students from 120 schools learned more about STEM in an innovative way through interactive activities and innovative questions to discover what type of innovator they are — designer, engineer, connector, inventor or adventurer. “My favourite zone was the kinetic exercise floor. It helped me understand how much energy can be generated from movement. When I grow up, I want to be an engineer or architect. After visiting the expo, I’ve found that I have the characteristics of an engineer,” said Tamim Al Tamimi, a student at English Modern School.
Mashary Al Saie, a parent, said, “I am happy that I brought my family to the event; it has allowed me to discover more about my children’s interests and potential. We have developed a new appreciation for energy, and from now on we will make a conscious effort to conserve it.”
Rob Sherwin, General Manager, Corporate Affairs, and Deputy Country Chairman, Shell companies in Qatar, said: “We are proud to have brought this science experience to encourage young people to study STEM subjects in higher education. These are fundamental to Qatar’s educational vision to build a prosperous future.”
