The invitation was issued in the context of QF’s Young Innovators Program, which strives to attract bright young minds and talent, and encourages gifted youth to reach their full potential.

When theAmerican student visits Doha with his father next month, he will tour QF’s flagship development, Education City, including Qatar Academy, Texas A&M University at Qatar (TAMUQ), Carnegie Mellon University in Qatar (CMUQ) and Qatar Science & Technology Park (QSTP). He will also meet with various QF officials, faculty and students.
