Journey
Journey
Al-Bairaq was established in 2010 under the leadership of Dr. Noora Al-Thani with the vision of developing scientific, experimental and research skills of high school students. The idea was to immerse K-12 students in scientific practice in order to enhance their scientific learning interests through hands-on activities.
The program is successful in building appreciation and understanding of the role of scientists and researchers in real world, as they are driven to brainstorm solutions for real world technological problems. Moreover, the students are also motivated to look forward to empower themselves in line with the sustainability goals of Qatar National Vision 2030.

The impact of Al-Bairaq on the school students can be envisioned through the results of different researches emphasizing the improvement in the students’ ability to acquire and retain scientific knowledge. Furthermore, we have results to prove the positive impact of the innovative learning environment influencing on students’ attitude towards STEAM fields and career aspirations as well. Our students have also played an inevitable role in portraying the importance of our program, as they have exhibited high-level competences in various National and International competitions, thereby bringing glory to the nation.
