Our participating students, who have showcased their talent in various categories, have been accepted into QU\u2019s prestigious Talented Students Program. This program, offered at QU, aims to attract students with exceptional talents in different fields.\u201d<\/p><p>Marcus Monteiro, the winner of first place in the programming course, expressed his thoughts on the experience, saying, \u201cI, along with my fellow participant, Galal, was extremely nervous, but we realized the competition would be tough with participants from other countries. However, as we began answering the questions, we gradually gained more and more confidence. I told my colleague, \u2018We will win this competition for Qatar\u2019.\u201d He stated, \u201cThe future of artificial intelligence is very bright. Many people believe that AI will take away people\u2019s jobs, but we see it as a tool for the future, making us smarter and more capable.\u201d<\/p><p>reference: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qatar-tribune.com\/article\/74835\/nation\/ai-olympiad-showcases-talent-of-arab-youth-in-programming-mathematics-and-robotics\">Here<\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Three students from Qatar University (QU) showcased their exceptional talent in the second edition of the Arab Artificial Intelligence Olympiad that was organized by Arab Robotics and AI Association, in collaboration with STEAM Centre on 24 June 2023, in Amman, Jordan.
