Students who participated in the boot camp were encouraged to develop competition-ready small projects aligned with the societal problems to seek solutions to these problems.
The purpose of initiating students’ project competitions was to stimulate them to use their mathematical and scientific skills in solving societal challenges, to share their passions in mathematics and science, and engage them in thoughtful research projects and collaboration.
Students in their respective subjects were facilitated to form the groups where each group was formed by six to seven students. The competition started at subject level and in each subject, five projects were developed to compete for the first place.
