I also have a strong connection with making things, so it makes sense that I really enjoy making programmes and games, which is a huge facet of Computer Science.
When asked why he wanted to study Computer Science, Asaad said: “I have been around computers and technology my entire life, so I feel at home with them. Asaad said: “NYU has a great programme for Computer Science, but the main reason I was set on NYU was because of the resources available for game development, namely the NYU Game Center which teaches game design and development and supports students' game development endeavours.” Asaad is excited for the change in weather and scenery after living in the Middle East his entire life. Asaad received an A for his 1600-word essay entitled ‘Can there be knowledge that is independent of culture?’ He wrote beautifully about the influence of culture on mathematics through Islamic architecture and how the axioms are separate from culture, however, in geometry, many discoveries in mathematics were made due to the culture surrounding Islamic architecture and making beautiful things using mathematics.Īsaad is heading to the bright lights of New York City in the US to study Computer Science at New York University (NYU). The TOK component provides an opportunity for students to reflect on the nature of knowledge, and on how they know what they claim to know. To complete their IB Diploma Programme, students are required to study Theory of Knowledge (TOK). When asked how he felt when he received his results, Asaad said: “I felt great about my results, it was a huge relief to see how good they were, but more than anything I was just proud I made it this far.” Meet Asaad Al Barwani, Class of 2022 IB Diploma GraduateĪsaad joined the BIS Abu Dhabi family in Year 8 and after six wonderful years at the school, he leaves with a score of 39 points out of a possible 45 in the IB Diploma Programme, an achievement to be extremely proud of.
