The center noted that the program, held from August 2 to 13 in collaboration with the University of Kuwait and involving more than 65 students (grades 10 to 12), aimed to help students explore university majors and choose academic pathways that align with their interests and abilities through an educational experience that combined academic, practical, and field components.
It emphasized the importance of the program, held under the patronage of University of Kuwait President Dr. Dina Al-Milhem, in introducing participating students to university life and academic majors in medicine, engineering, and petroleum through scientific and practical experiences that contributed to developing their skills, providing close exposure to the nature of these disciplines, and supporting their future academic and career orientations.
It was explained that students participated in activities that allowed them to closely examine the nature of university studies, the requirements of various majors, educational opportunities and scholarships, and labor market prospects, thereby enhancing their readiness for the university stage.
It was reported that the medical track included experiences covering epidemiology, scientific research writing, anatomy lab training, workshops on using medical equipment and handling emergency cases, and visits to the medical library and hospitals.
The medical track also included training in laparoscopic surgery, simulation-based surgery, laboratory demonstrations, and meetings with practicing physicians, giving students the opportunity to practically understand the nature of study and practice in the medical field.
The center clarified that the engineering track included lectures and experiments in architecture, engineering competitions, artistic experiments, and field visits to the Ahmad Al-Jaber Oil and Gas Exhibition and the Science Center, along with practical activities in 3D printing, which strengthened students’ practical skills and linked engineering concepts to real-world applications.
It is worth noting that the program was organized under the Sabah Al-Ahmad Center for Talent and Creativity, which offers specialized programs aimed at developing students’ abilities, enhancing their knowledge and practical skills, fostering critical thinking and problem-solving, and helping them discover their academic interests.
