The Ministry of Communications and Information Technology (MCIT) represented by Studio 5, in collaboration with the National Museum of Qatar, marked the International Day of Biological Diversity with a special workshop dedicated to exploring living organisms, algae, and bacteria using microscopes and capturing images. This unique event brought together participants to discover the fascinating world of biology and express their creativity through art pieces created using bacteria and organic elements.

On May 22nd, participants gathered at Studio 5 for an immersive experience celebrating the diversity of life on Earth. Under the guidance of the Studio 5 team, attendees had the opportunity to observe living organisms up close through powerful microscopes, gaining insight into their intricate structures and behaviors. The workshop provided a hands-on learning experience, allowing participants to capture stunning images of the microscopic world around them.

In addition to scientific exploration, the workshop also embraced artistic expression. Participants were invited to unleash their creativity by creating art pieces using bacteria and organic elements. From intricate designs to abstract compositions, the art pieces showcased the beauty and complexity of life forms, highlighting the importance of biological diversity in our ecosystem.
