Stars of Science, now in its sixth season, pits innovators against each other in a competition to turn their ideas into reality. Twelve candidates aged 18 to 30 come to Doha, Qatar, where they are mentored by world-class engineering and design experts at the Qatar Science & Technology Park (QSTP). The innovators' resilience, ingenuity and teamwork are tested in challenges throughout the show as they develop their inventions from concept to commercialization with the ultimate goal of winning funding for their projects.

Months of development, elimination rounds and jury feedback have resulted in some of the most advanced prototypes ever seen on Stars of Science . Thieab Al Dossary, known to viewers as "The Intellectual," hopes his Tactile Communication Bracelet, which enriches multimedia experiences by relaying synchronized pulses to a user's arm, will make him Bahrain's first winner. "The Strategist" Sultan AlSubhi is contending to be Oman's first winner with his Wudu' Area Robotic Cleaner, a robotic device that automatically cleans the ablution areas of prayer facilities and mosques.  

Lebanon's Rania Bou Jaoudeh, known as "The Planner," can become the first female winner of Stars of Science with her Automatic Zucchini Corer, which greatly reduces the time and strenuous effort spent preparing a common staple of Arab cuisine. "The Scientist" Mohammed Al Housani looks to earn Qatar's second title with his Efficient Solar Energy System, designed to better convert sunlight to power.
