In regard to the influence scientific competitions have on students, Fatemeh Mohajerani, former chancellor of Shariaty Technical College, said: “One of the ways to generate motivation in students is to hold scientific competitions, which, by nature, provide a platform for spotting and nurturing talents. We also welcome competitions that have standards and embrace principles because they help us accomplish our educational missions.”
Mohajerani stressed the role of scientific competitions in students’ scientific development, saying: “In many cases, the goal of a competition is to showcase a student’s creativity. However, in some cases, students fail to reveal their talents and creativity at schools due to the heavy curriculum and the lack of sufficient specialized staff. Therefore, scientific competitions are a good platform for recognizing students’ talents. Also, these competitions will help strengthen students’ motivation so that we use their expertise in the future.”
Highlighting the importance of students’ interaction on international level, and the profound impact it can have on the Islamic world’s flourishing scientific future, she said “Noor school student competition is definitely an effective activity and we hope it will spread day by day.”
It is worth mentioning that Noor competition is held annually as one of the events organized by the Mustafa
Science and Technology Foundation (MSTF) among school students, which pursues the aim of playing a role in motivating the adolescent generation of the Islamic world, broadening new horizons in science and technology, and helping outstanding talents to burgeon.
The 4th round of Noor competition, in recognition of professor Omar Yaghi, the laureate of the 2015 Mustafa
Prize, began in August 2019. In this round, students are to create 60-second scientific video clips of their conducting experiments in various fields of materials and energy.
