A new inventors’ competition “Stars of Science” is now searching for bright young Yemeni scientists to participate in a global competition.
All young inventors in Yemen from scientific backgrounds are called to measure themselves through an inventors’ competition including the entire Arab World.
The local film production company Image Yemen is currently carrying out a promotion and casting campaign for the Qatari TV serial “Stars of Science” throughout Yemeni universities and student unions.
The competition is open to all kinds of inventions and innovations.
The Qatar Foundation for Education, Science and Community Development is initiating the first Docu-reality Show for Arab inventors. 16 Arab students with an invention will be selected all over the world.
Contestants will be able to develop their ideas during a 10-week workshop in Doha. Inventions will go through the steps of engineering, designing, business planning, and marketing. A panel of 4 international experts will judge the work.
Information for contestants is available on the website www.starsofscience.com in English and Arabic. Inventors will find the application form that can be filled out to the casting department in Qatar. Selected applicants will then be invited for a casting interview at Image Yemen office in Sana’a – the same building as the new Yemen Observer office – which will take place on July 25. Only inventors who have applied and received an invitation from Qatari Foundation will be allowed to participate.
