Doha, Qatar: Qatar Science & Technology Park (QSTP), a member of Qatar Foundation, has wrapped up Creative Labs, a two-week, studio-based training programme where more than 30 students turned their ideas into working prototypes. Hosted at QSTP and Qatar Scientific Club (QSC), the program received an overwhelming response, attracting more than 160 applications. By the end of the program, participants had developed 17 prototypes after an intensive journey through hands-on innovation, design thinking, and technology integration.
Teams developed inclusive health wearables, designed playful furniture for the elderly, reimagined single-use event items with biodegradable alternatives such as mycelium and potato starch, and built games that spark conversations about social issues. Each project combined social purpose with emerging technology, encouraging participants to explore problems from fresh angles and to design solutions with impact.
Developed with NuVuX, a global leader in creative education, impacting over 13,000 students and 1,850 teachers through their design-based practices, and delivered in partnership with the QSC and the Ministry of Education and Higher Education (MOEHE), Creative Labs brought high school and university students, educators, mentors, and industry partners together under one roof.
