Competitions and Olympiads
LEO'S Virtual Problem-Solving Competition,2021:
As a member of Team Eclipse, I participated in a virtual problem-solving competition organized by the Leo Club. The competition focused on significant social issues in Bangladesh. Our team addressed the critical problem of child labor in Bangladesh. Our analysis identified key factors contributing to child labor and to tackle the issue effectively, we proposed a series of actionable solutions for the government.
Our team’s presentation earned 1st place out of 120 international teams.
Agricultural Olympiad, 2020
In 2020, I actively participated in the Agricultural Olympiad, a prestigious competition that challenges knowledge and innovation in the agricultural field. I was among the first-round winners, demonstrating strong expertise and problem-solving skills. Although I did not advance to the second round, this experience enhanced my understanding of agricultural science and contributed to my professional growth.
Virtual Poster Competition- 2020
In 2020, I participated in the Virtual Poster Competition organized by Bangladesh Research and Innovation Society (BRIS), where I presented a poster on the topic “Hydroponics: A Green Gardening”. Our poster highlighted the basic concept and benefits of hydroponic systems as a modern approach to gardening. My team was honored to receive the Gold Award for this project, recognizing the innovative nature and practical significance of the topic.
Top Finalist - GIS for Research Training Program, 2023
I was selected as one of the top 25 finalists out of over a thousand applicants for the GIS for Research Course Program. During the course, we received training on essential GIS tools and techniques, including ArcGIS, QGIS, spatial analysis, remote sensing, and geospatial data management. The program concluded with the submission of a comprehensive report that summarized our learning and practical applications throughout the training.
