Dr. Salem Al-Naemi, President of UDST, said: “We are glad to see that the booth has attracted an impressive turnout. EXPO 2023 Doha is not just an exhibition, but a platform for institutions, organizations, and individuals that are intent on shaping a sustainable future. At UDST, we are forging our own path in greener practices and technology. Through our participation at the exhibition, we wanted to broaden the conversation around sustainability in education environments. Our efforts around sustainability at the University are not only about educating our students, but about developing and implementing innovative real-world solutions.”
The students, faculty and staff of UDST have each been an essential part of the University’s achievements toward cultivating a more sustainable future both on campus, and in the wider community. University initiatives on display at the booth included a weather station, a sustainable greenhouse model, various robots, an agricultural tricycle, a smart trash bin system, and a hydroponic system capstone project. EXPO visitors to the booth had the opportunity to take part in a series of hands-on educational activities such as setting up precision agricultural sensors to monitor soil moisture and temperature, and composting and soil building. Other activities included assembling a small-scale hydroponic system, where visitors can learn about hydroponic-compatible plants; installing a smart irrigation system; and agricultural 3D printing, complete with design tutorials.
EXPO 2023 Doha concludes on March 28th, 2024.
