‘Student from Sharjah achieves third place at ISEF’

Saif Hassan Ibrahim Karam, a student from Sharjah Model Secondary School, made his mark on the global stage by winning third place in chemistry at the International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF) held in Los Angeles, USA. Among more than 2,000 student participants from 70 countries, the 11th-grader’s achievement stood out.

Sarah Al Amiri, the Minister of State for Public Education and Advanced Technology, expressed her congratulations to Saif on his remarkable accomplishment through her official account. She commended his success and highlighted his role as a public school student representing the UAE on an international platform.

Saif’s project involved developing a chemical compound that can absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and convert it into clean fuel, a groundbreaking innovation in the field. Under the guidance of his chemistry teacher Ayat Tawfiq, Saif conducted experiments in various laboratories, ultimately leading to the creation of a new compound with significant environmental implications.

This achievement not only showcases Saif’s talent and dedication but also underscores the UAE’s commitment to innovation and sustainability in addressing global environmental challenges. By focusing on reducing carbon emissions and promoting clean energy sources, Saif’s work aligns with the growing emphasis on combatting climate change and preserving the planet’s health.

As the world continues to prioritize environmental conservation and carbon emission reduction, Saif’s research and accomplishments serve as a testament to the power of education and innovation in driving positive change. His contributions hold promise for a cleaner, greener future and inspire others to pursue solutions that benefit both society and the environment.
