Our group’s mission is to promote
and protect human rights around the world. We seek to educate ourselves about human rights issues and to act on them by writing emails and/or letter to world leaders asking them to promote and protect human rights in their respective countries. Several times throughout the school year we hold letter writing campaigns at lunch in order to educate our peers on a pressing human rights issue and give them a way to act on it. Our vision is of a world in which every person - regardless of race, religion, ethnicity, sexual orientation or gender identity – enjoys all of the human rights enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

Through this club, students will form a company, conceive a business idea that will improve peoples’ lives, develop an idea into a product,
and sell this product to the greater Cairo community. INJAZ is one of the most popular clubs at CAC for a reason. Our teams have been very successful over the past several years. In 2011 CAC won 1st place in a national competition and thereafter represented Egypt at an international competition in Dubai. In 2013, our team was recognized at a national competition for having an outstanding marketing department. With this legacy of success, our goal is to win the national competition each and every year.

Competition includes 15 minute bowl rounds where general knowledge questions which may be academic in nature or about experiential learning, such as first aid skills or medical conditions or world discoveries, for example; from general awareness in their lives. Teams are asked questions and then have 7s to buzz in and 15 seconds to confer before giving answers. Every team member has their own buzzer. Additionally, the competition contains 5 Olympiads at the JV level and up to 7 at the Varsity level where teams are challenged with tasks regarding Music, Fine Arts, Current Events (within the year from previous to current tournament date), Engineering, Geography, Spelling and Mathematics. The format may be images with questions or musical clips, or in the case of Engineering, each team receives a box or plastic zip lock bag of random materials and a paper indicating a task to build something to serve a particular purpose. This is an extra-curricular activity for kids who are cool for all the right reasons. JV Academic Season ends on November.
