The program delivered an interactive educational experience that combined scientific lectures, practical workshops, experiments, and field visits.

In a press release, the foundation stated that the program is part of its efforts to foster young people’s interest in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), and to promote a culture of research and innovation through an enabling environment that facilitates the transition from acquiring knowledge to hands-on experience and application.

It clarified that the program’s content was tailored to the age and cognitive levels of participants. The middle school stage focused on cultivating scientific passion and enhancing thinking and communication skills, while the high school stage offered deeper content in creative thinking, problem-solving, and teamwork skills.

The foundation noted that the program engaged a distinguished group of Kuwaiti academics and researchers to deliver content aligned with Kuwait’s priorities and developmental needs. It also provided students with the opportunity to explore diverse scientific disciplines and visit academic environments to discover their interests and gain a clear vision of their future career paths.

KFAS highlighted that the high school stage concluded with an exhibition of student projects, showcasing 20 scientific and innovative project groups based on national priorities. This exhibition served as a practical platform for students to apply the skills they had acquired, particularly in scientific communication and simplifying concepts for the public.

The foundation emphasized that the program’s continuation for its tenth year reflects its commitment to investing in young national talent and preparing a generation equipped with the knowledge and skills to contribute to the country’s future, in line with KFAS’s 2025–2029 strategy aimed at developing capabilities and enhancing the role of science in building a knowledge-based economy.
