A Collaborative Effort to Nurture Talent
This initiative is the result of a strong partnership between the General Administration for Environmental Projects at Suez Canal University and the Department of Gifted and Smart Learning at the Ismailia Directorate of Education. The student participants expressed their excitement about the opportunity to exchange ideas and develop their skills.
Looking Ahead
Following the success of the event, it was proposed that the winning teams be nominated to participate in a nationwide competition. This potential next step aims to scale the initiative’s impact, providing a larger platform for the talented youth of Ismailia to showcase their innovations.
