MoE evaluates 11 science projects for NXplorers programme
Muscat - The Ministry of Education (MoE), represented by the Centre for Measurement and Evaluation (Department of Innovation and Scientific Olympiad), carried out the final evaluation of student projects for the NXplorers programme on Sunday morning.
As per a statement, the programme focuses on presenting practical projects on the challenges facing humanity in the fields of water, food, and energy through the Microsoft Teams platform. From all the governorates, 25 male and female students, participating with 11 scientific projects, made it for the final evaluation taking place at the Engineering Village Foundation building in Seeb.
The idea of the programme is based on a team of specialists training students and teachers to choose scientific topics and problems from the reality of their different environments and regions. They aim to generate ideas to solve them and apply them on the ground using specific scientific methodologies.
The final evaluation included the following eleven projects: Overgrazing, Homeland Plant, Green Legacy Palm Trees, Organic Fertilisers, Our Wealth Dates, Raising the Productivity of the Nutritional Value of Dates by Classifying Them, How We Can Use the Water Discharged from Washing and Drinking Basins in Agriculture, The Awaser Team to Grow Bananas, How We can Address the Accumulation of Wood Leaves and Waste, How Can We Reduce the Problem of Water Pollution in the Marinas and Fishing Boats, and The Exploitation of Wastewater in the School.
Through the project, the ministry aims to develop the problem-solving skills of students by analysing a problem through various angles and reach the best appropriate solution in a scientific way based on clear and unfamiliar strategies for students. The ministry also aims to develop the spirit of teamwork and to prepare an informed generation with a degree of responsibility towards the challenges and problems facing environment.
