Then, Hanaa kicks off Episode 7’s DEEPDIVE segment from Los Angeles where she joins The King Abdulaziz and his Companions Foundation for Giftedness and Creativity (Mawhiba) students while they compete against 1700 students from around the world in the Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair, ISEF 2024, the world’s largest pre-college STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) competition, taking place from May 11-17 .

Students from all over the Kingdom go through several judging rounds as part of a national competition called the National Olympiad for Scientific Creativity, ‘Ibdaa’. Boys and girls from Riyadh to Rijal Alma, and from Khobar to Khamis Mushait come together to form a final team of 35 representing the Kingdom internationally.

The hosts then go on to discuss news, covering flying taxis for Hajj, visas and travel, and Saudis' relationship with money and spending.
