maria Al-Qumsani in engineering technologies and Bandar Al-Barahim in robotics and intelligent devices won fourth-place awards. Hanadi Arif in the social and behavioral sciences also received a fourth-place award. Also, Maria Al-Ghamdi in environmental sciences; Tahani Ahmad in materials sciences; Dee Shujaa in earth and environmental sciences; Yazan Al-Fulaih in plant sciences; and Maria Al-Fulaih in plant sciences; all received fourth-place awards.
Since the Kingdom began participating in 2007, it has won a total of 133 prizes at ISEF. These prizes include 92 major prizes and 41 special prizes. This year’s achievements added to this overall total. ISEF is thought to be the biggest science and innovation prize fair for pre-university students.
Amal bint Abdullah Al-Hazaa, who is the Secretary General of Mawhiba, congratulated all participants and the Kingdom. She also said that the partnership between Mawhiba and the Ministry of Education helped create a setting that encourages creativity and talent development. This has led to the development of skilled Saudi human capital models that can develop new ways to solve problems related to sustainable development, which is good for all of humanity.
Conclusion
The Saudi science and engineering team did great at the Regeneron ISEF. These accomplishments add to the Kingdom’s impressive record at the fair since its participation in 2007. They also show the Kingdom’s commitment to developing talent and improving scientific excellence.
