The Saudi contingent, comprised of promising young minds from Riyadh, Jeddah, Qassim, the Eastern Province, Madinah, and Jeddah, displayed exceptional knowledge and problem-solving skills. Their dedication and hard work paid off as a group of high school students clinched the bronze medal, while their middle school counterparts earned an honorable mention from the Korea Evaluation Institute of Industrial Technology.

It tests students’ understanding of standards and their ability to innovate in this critical area.
