Pakistan International School–Qatar (PIS-Q) organised a science exhibition recently. Students of Secondary and Higher Secondary came up with creative models showcasing their talent and enthusiasm for out-of-classroom activities. They applied the concepts learned in class and created innovative projects for a hands-on experience.
The exhibition gave the students an opportunity to think critically and apply laws of science to practically demonstrate their theoretical knowledge of concepts. The projects were judged by teachers of all the wings after a careful study of the mechanism and working of each project.
