Summary

Qatar Precision Health Institute (QPHI), part of Qatar Foundation, completed its 2024/2025 Genome Heroes Stations tour, reaching over 9,500 students across 38 Ministry schools. In collaboration with the Ministry of Education, the initiative introduced genomics to primary students using Genome Heroes, a mobile educational game available in Arabic and English. The program aims to spark early interest in genome science and address the lack of Arabic-language genomic content. QPHI is also partnering with Pre-University Education to expand hands-on learning and workshops. Aligned with Qatar National Vision 2030, QPHI is developing future scientists and healthcare professionals through a comprehensive education strategy.
