The winners are as follows: first place, Abdelrahman Al Jaber from Khalifa Secondary School for Boys; second place, Nour Khalid Mohammed Saeed from Next Generation School, Al Wakra; and third place, Abdallah Bisty from Tariq Bin Ziad School for boys.
Launched at the Cheltenham Science Festival in the UK, FameLab has grown into the world's leading science communication competition. In Qatar, FameLab Academy reflects the country's commitment to advancing science through creative and accessible communication.
Delivered in partnership with the Ministry of Education and Higher Education and QRDI Council, the program is now in its ninth year and third cycle under a new format. To date, it has trained around 10,000 students.
