Despite the abundance of water within Albania’s borders, the country faces challenges associated with water management and distribution. The goal of this project was to spark students’ interest in pursuing careers to resolve these issues. Working with the Water Supply and Sewerage Association of Albania and high schools in five major cities, our team established a national science fair focusing on water. The science fair program was received with enthusiasm, and the students started to work eagerly on their projects. Plans are for the science fair to expand and involve more schools, providing greater awareness of water issues for the students and the Albanian community as a whole.
