National Olympiad for Scientific Creativity

Introduction

In order to achieve the vision of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia 2030 within the axis of "A Flourishing Economy, a Fruitful Opportunity", by providing education that contributes to driving the economy, which is one of the work obligations to achieve, "Focus on innovation in advanced technologies and entrepreneurship", and in line with the tenth development plan in transforming into a creative knowledge society, the National Olympiad for Scientific Creativity "Ibdah" comes in an effort to create a competitive, creative scientific environment that stimulates the mind of the scientific researcher, and prepares him to compete and enter the global knowledge system based on innovation and scientific research to achieve sustainable national development.

The National Olympiad for Scientific Creativity has embodied, through its achievements on the ground, excellence and creativity at the local and international levels, with the efforts of the sons and daughters of the nation through distinguished scientific projects in the past years. And here is the excellence and achievement continuing with creativity with all competence, which is organized by the Ministry of Education and the King Abdulaziz and His Companions Foundation for Giftedness and Creativity (Mawhiba), in implementation of the education policy in the Kingdom to encourage and develop the spirit of research and scientific thinking, and to pay attention to global achievements in the fields of science and knowledge.

National Olympiad for Scientific Creativity

An annual scientific competition targeting middle and high school students. It is based on competition in one of the scientific fields, by submitting individual scientific projects according to the required special standards and controls. The projects are judged electronically and in person by a group of academics and specialists according to specific scientific standards with the aim of identifying distinguished projects to nominate them for the higher competitive stages .

Creativity Exhibition for Science and Engineering:

Exhibition to select the winners of “Ibdaa” from which the winners will be selected to represent the Kingdom at the International Science and Engineering Fair “ISEF” in the United States of America

Scientific project

It is the study of a problem with the aim of solving it according to precise scientific rules. It is a means of posing questions and providing scientific answers according to a scientific methodology, conducting experiments, and proving the results. Some of these projects may result in an engineering design that has the characteristics of innovative creative work.

Objectives

Providing a competitive environment that satisfies the interest of students, sons and daughters of the nation.
Developing the spirit of creativity among students in scientific and technical fields.
Discovering students' scientific talents and abilities.
Providing students with scientific research skills that will develop their special scientific talents.
Representing the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in international forums with distinguished projects.
Guiding students to come up with promising creative solutions to global sustainable development problems.
Educating creative students about the importance of the economic impact of scientific research and transforming it into usable manufactured models.

ISEF Exhibition

The Kingdom, represented by the King Abdulaziz and His Companions Foundation for Giftedness and Creativity (Mawhiba) and the Ministry of Education, is participating in the International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF), which is the largest scientific competition in the field of scientific research for the pre-university stage. The fair hosts approximately 1,800 participants from more than 75 countries around the world.

This competition is organized by the American Society for Science & the Public, and sponsored by Intel until 2019. The sponsorship was transferred to Regeneron in 2020.

This competition started as a local competition in 1950 and then became an international competition in 1958. The competition is held annually in May in the United States of America, and the location of the exhibition varies from year to year.

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's participation began in 2007 based on an agreement between the King Abdulaziz and His Companions Foundation for Giftedness and Creativity and the Science and Society Society (SSP).

Mechanism for participation in the International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF)

A qualifying workshop is held for all students who won the Creativity Science and Engineering Fair, with the aim of selecting projects that represent the Kingdom internationally at the International Science and Engineering Fair “ISEF”.

Exhibition Awards

Grand Prizes: Prizes offered by the competition organizers.

Special Awards: Awards presented by local and international entities.
