(MENAFN- The Peninsula) 'The Intellectual' Thieab Al Dossary of Bahrain and 'The Strategist' Sultan Al Subhi of Oman have stamped their tickets to the November 15 final episode of Stars of Science on MBC4. They will compete for the top spot and a share of the $600,000 prize money.
During an episode punctuated by moments of tension and triumph, the two fan favourites on Qatar Foundation's 'edutainment reality' TV programme successfully defended their projects in the design stage.
Al Subhi and Al Dossary took first and second place respectively to advance, while Walaa Aniba of Tunisia, with her smart headphones project, fell just short and was eliminated.
Stars of Science, in its sixth season, pits innovators against each other in a competition to turn their ideas into reality.
Twelve candidates between 18 and 30 years come to Qatar, to be mentored by world-class engineering and design experts at Qatar Science & Technology Park.
Innovators' resilience, ingenuity and teamwork are tested in challenges throughout the show as they develop inventions from concept to commercialisation with the goal of winning funding for their projects.
After proving themselves in the crucial engineering stage, candidates had very little time to enhance the design of their projects while improving functionality and marketability.
In the design stage, they were evaluated by VIP juror James Law, founder of the award-winning architectural firm James Law Cybertecture International.
On the next episode on November 8 at 8:00 KSA time, viewers will see Mohammed Al Housani of Qatar, Khaled Al Sulaim of Saudi Arabia, Rania Bou Jaoudeh of Lebanon face the jury to secure their place in the finals. Hosted by Khaled Al Jumaily and Haneen Al Naqdi, the final will conclude the sixth season. Ranking will be determined through a joint jury and public vote that can be seen in the final episode.
