The impact of COVID-19 was the predominant theme at the Islamabad Science Festival, organized by Campaignistan in partnership with the Islamabad Capital Territory (ICT) administration.
The festival mainly involved students from public schools who normally would not have the opportunity to attend scientific and technical events. The projects at the festival range from precautions, washing stations, identification of the virus, the benefits of face masks and disinfectants to working in hospital wards for coronavirus.
In their projects, the students examined the effects of COVID-19 in different categories, such as socio-economics, health, technology and environmental sciences.
Young enthusiastic students impressed the audience with their incredible scientific demonstrations and passion for science.
DC Islamabad Hamza Shafqaat was impressed by the knowledge and enthusiasm of the students. The festival "was a great opportunity for students to showcase their talents in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) and the government of Islamabad will continue to host a science festival in Islamabad every year," said Hamza Shafqaat.
Prosperous future The three best student exhibitions of Islamabad Model College for Girls (IMCG) F-10/2, IMCG I-8/1 and Islamabad Model College for Boys (IMCB) Rawal Dam were recognized by Education Minister Shahram Khan Taraqai of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and further assistant ICT Commissioner General Rana Waqas.
After meeting the talented students at the Science Festival, Minister Shahram said he was "hopeful and optimistic about Pakistan's prosperous future" and especially the potential of female STEM students.
This was the second science festival in Islamabad after 2019. Both events proved successful in providing a platform for students and educators to showcase their talents and foster a love of science and technology, the organizers said.
