About the Project

Hazem aspired to help his hearing-impaired friends effectively communicate their ideas to the world. During Stars of ScienceSeason 7, he invented the Sign Language Electromyography (EMG) Sleeve, which records the muscle movements of both arms and translates them into words and sounds - thus enabling anyone to easily understand sign language!

About the Project

In all parts of the world, many buildings are not easily accessible for the elderly and physically disabled.  Husam devised the “Automatic Stair Climber Machine,” seeking to enhance mobility in the Middle East and beyond.

Adib’s professors at the Lebanese American University in Byblos (LAU) knew he had a lot to offer. The industrial engineering student had to be pushed to apply to Stars of Science Season 7. With the backing of those who believed in him, he started developing an Ergonomic Activity Desk Lamp. 

About the project

On Season 7, Yaman Abou Jieb gained in a big way. The Syrian tech tinkerer went on to win Stars of Science with his solar washing machine innovation Glean. The idea was born out of necessity to help his community. Yaman had witnessed first-hand constant power cuts and water shortages. Understanding that washing machines require an abundance of both electricity and water, he sought to devise a way to mitigate the disruption caused by their absence.

“Since I was on the show, I’ve been approached by many viewers. They all tell me Stars of Science inspired them to study science and technology,” said Hassan Al Balawi, founder of WakeCap. “Innovators on the show must be conscious of the fact that what they do, and how they do it, matters to inspiring innovators around the Arab world.” 

Project & Impact

About the Project

Omar’s invention, Sanda, is a specialized chair that supports worshippers who need physical assistance while praying. Five times a day, Muslims perform the act of worship, which involves standing, prostrating, and sitting. Those who are physically unable to stand for long periods of time, or are otherwise impaired, usually use chairs. Sanda is designed to support worshippers with assistive sitting and standing features. Omar’s reimagined chair could positively benefit the quality of life of millions of potential users around the world.

“I’ve enjoyed the Stars of Science experience not only for the opportunities it has afforded me, but also the wonderful, helpful people I’ve met in Qatar along the way,” said Mourad Benosman 4^th place winner at Stars of Science, season 7.

About the Project

Maymoona’s project, “Date Pits Filter in Desalination”, is aimed at desalinating water with the use of ground date seeds as a filter and distiller, rendering the water safe to drink. With the growing population and the diminishing sources of clean water, there is an urgent need to find effective desalination methods the soonest possible, especially in the Middle East. Maymoona’s device would render the desalination process easier and more cost-effective.
