Introduction:
Qatar University-Young Scientist Center (QU-YSC) is an establishment and a hub for major research activities aimed to encourage and facilitate access of Qatari students to STEM fields of education at QU. QU-YSC is an expansion of the existing highly successful project-based research and modular STEM education carried out by Al-Bairaq.
The center mentors the students to develop themselves as creators and solution providers, by offering immense opportunities to cultivate their innovative skills, vocational ability and to promote realization of their ideas.
During this global health crisis, education sector has become severely disturbed and disoriented in managing the learning process. QU-YSC summer internship program delivers unique and interactive learning experience using online platforms thereby allowing the participant to adapt to the flexible online learning.

Students will apply knowledge in STEM in the development of products that are capable of benefiting to the current environment.
The internship is a great opportunity for QU undergrads to enhance their interaction with younger students and develop a sense of mentorship and better skills. Finally, students will compile all the internship work to make a journal paper.
The interns will receive a certificate on successful completion of the internship tasks and responsibilities.
The objectives of the internship are summarized as below:
