Sharjah 24: Rubu’ Qarn Science and Technology Centre – an affiliate of the Rubu’ Qarn Foundation for Creating Future Leaders and Innovators – in collaboration with Ru'ya Careers Exhibition, has organised the Future Scientist Award as a strategic partner in this year’s exhibition.

The initiative reflects a commitment to support and empower young Emirati talent, showcasing their innovative projects in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM).

Innovative projects from Emirati youth

The award attracted pioneering submissions from Emirati students across three main fields: sustainability and agriculture, transport and mobility, and artificial intelligence and smart systems. Sixteen projects developed at Rubu’ Qarn Science and Technology Centre between August and September 2025 were shortlisted for evaluation by a panel of academic experts. They will also be exhibited to the public during the event.

Interactive learning opportunities

Visitors to the Future Scientist Award platform in Za’abeel Hall 3 can participate in interactive workshops from September 23 to 25, 2025. These include the Makers’ Lab for electrical circuits and engineering applications, the Discovery Lab for fingerprint analysis and DNA extraction from fruit, and the Technology Lab, which provides advanced programming experiences and insights into artificial intelligence and digital design.
