KAUST held its 2016 Winter Enrichment Program (WEP) Science Fair, featuring science shows and exhibits for children from The KAUST School (TKS) and local schools. Demonstrations included hydroponics, aquaponics, and experiments on plant salt stress. TKS students presented research on handwashing and CO2 levels. Why it matters: Such events promote STEM education and engagement within the KAUST community and surrounding areas.
KAUST hosted 19 female students and teachers from Thuwal intermediate school. This was part of its Young Learners Development Program (YLDP), administered by the Social Responsibility department. The visit was organized by the KAUST Water Desalination and Reuse Center (WDRC). Why it matters: Such programs encourage local youth to pursue STEM fields and build stronger ties between KAUST and the surrounding community.
