I am a Researcher
This program is designed to cultivate students' research based knowledge through advanced research experiences in Real world labs in the mentorship of research experts and scientists. "I am a researcher" offers a unique opportunity for pre- university students in Qatar to participate in active research held at the different research institutions and departments in Qatar University, working with the university professors and experienced researchers, equipping them with the fundamentals of research methodology, thereby capacitating them to manage their own hands-on research projects.
The students are introduced to an inquiry-driven research environment designed through a curriculum of STEM related contemporary real-life research projects. Students therefore acquire learning outcomes that include experimentation and analysis through different phases of generating a hypothesis, gathering data and constructing evidence based on data, consequently drawing conclusions either propagating forward to an advanced research or solving a scientific problem. As they propagate through the research process, they foster and cultivate scientific curiosity, problem solving capability and ultimately, the research methodology.
