From Dawn: Mohammad Naeem Khan, Zaki Hussain and Mohammad Qasim, second-year students from Sir Syed Science College, Rawalpindi, have developed Pakistan’s first ever hovercraft. The project was sponsored by Intel under its ‘Intel ISEF Awards,’ and led to the team designing a machine capable of lifting up to 350 kg. The team told APP that they ‘feel pride to win laurels for our country and becoming forerunner in this field,’ and that they looked forward to the second phase of the competition, which would see them travel to the US to present their project at the International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF). The ISEF is a global science competition for students in grades 9-12, and this year will include 1,557 high school students from 51 countries presenting 1,241 projects. The finalists are chosen from the two top-ranked individual entries, and the highest ranked group project from 550 associated fairs around the world.
