Muscat: Oman Shell and the Ministry of Education (MoE), recently awarded the outstanding Shell NXplorers projects developed by students from schools across Oman. Five years since its successful launch in collaboration with MoE, the Shell NXplorers programme has grown this year to include not only senior students from grades 9 to 12, but also junior students from grades 5 to 8. An innovative learning programme, Shell NXplorers aims to equip students with the cognitive tools and creative and complex problem-solving skills needed to create positive change in the food, water and energy nexus. Since its launch in 2018, the Shell NXplorers programme has benefitted more than 2, 900 students, and has equipped over 241 teachers with key skills to mentor and nurture Omani youth in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) related fields of study. 44 science and maths teachers from different governorates of the Sultanate of Oman were also able to meet and discuss the triumphs and challenges of the programme as part of the launch of the Alumni Club this year.
