The unwavering commitment of their parents, who sacrificed time and resources to nurture their children’s talents, is commendable. Their presence alongside the young participants in Bangkok symbolizes the depth of parental love and support, which is the bedrock of their success.
Moreover, the guidance and mentorship provided by Mr. Sureendran Gopala Krishnan from Break Barriers Enterprise – Young Scientists Program have been instrumental in shaping the students’ journey.
