Doha, Qatar: Students from across Education City showcased their innovation skills during the Invent for the Planet competition, organized by Texas A&M University at Qatar, a Qatar Foundation partner university.

Over a period of 48 hours, participants developed, designed, built and presented ideas and technologies of benefit to the world.

Started by Texas A&M University’s flagship campus in College Station, Texas (USA), Invent for the Planet asked students from more than 24 participating universities around the world to tackle the most challenging issues facing the world today in just 48 hours.

At each location, teams were formed based on a shared interest in one of the available need statements. 

Then over the following two days, the teams researched their topic, collaborated with mentors, came up with a solution and built a simple prototype.
