The US embassy in Qatar announced that Qatari national Wadha Nasser al-Jabor has received a financial award to bring her peer-to-peer education project, “STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math) for All,” to life in Qatar.
She applied for and won the 2023 IVLP Impact Award, which was open worldwide to alumni of the US International Visitor Leadership Programme (IVLP), a Department of State exchange programme in which al-Jabor participated in fall 2022.
Al-Jabor, a statistician and leadership coach, will use STEAM for All to allow Qatar's children and youth to explore hands-on learning in robotics, programming, circuity, 3D modeling, and other areas of STEAM.
While developing her STEAM for All idea, al-Jabor travelled to San Diego, California; Washington, DC; and Boston, Massachusetts; and Cleveland, Ohio in the US on an IVLP trip themed “Youth Volunteerism and Civic Engagement.”
