Stars of Science, now in its sixth season, pits innovators against each other in a competition to turn their ideas into reality. Twelve candidates aged 18 to 30 come to Doha, where they are mentored by world-class engineering and design experts at the Qatar Science & Technology Park (QSTP). The innovators’ resilience, ingenuity and teamwork are tested in challenges throughout the show as they develop their inventions from concept to commercialisation with the ultimate goal of winning funding for their projects.
Stars of Science chose the twelve candidates in an international casting tour that considered thousands of applicants. Viewers witnessed these candidates work tirelessly to engineer, design and refine their projects with the knowledge that some among them would be eliminated by a jury of experts in weekly primetime episodes.
A total of $600,000 will be awarded to the finalists based on the results of the public vote and jury deliberation. The live finale of Season 6 of Stars of Science will be hosted by Khaled Al Jumaily.
