This collaboration provides ABM students with an opportunity to engage with the local and international community while representing Omani heritage and values on a global platform.\nAs part of this initiative, ABM students participated in a series of cultural and educational activities during their visit to Washington, DC, which coincided with their NASA educational tour. A major highlight of this program was the celebration of Oman\u2019s 54th Glorious National Day in Washington, DC, which served as a symbol of national pride and international goodwill. The event featured a keynote speech by Mrs. Sabra Al Hooti, Deputy Head of Oman&#8217;s Mission in Washington, DC, and a special honor presented to ABM students by Dr. Majid Al Khalili, Executive Director of the Sultan Qaboos Cultural Center (SQCC).\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-element
