A Moment with is to help facilitate a STEM Shift in the model of education for an Innovation Age and to create innovators. We do this through professional development of principals and teachers, through consulting with schools that want to develop a STEM Strategic Plan, and through summer camps including one on entrepreneurship.
I chose the UAE originally as a country with a vision that wants to innovate now and be the best in the world. I like to get things done and this is a place that provides that opportunity for our organisation. We are expanding into the other surrounding countries as well.
Share two ways in which the work that you are currently doing positively impacts young people.
Students participating in our schools and programs are going into STEM careers and STEM degrees, they are developing start-ups and widening their opportunities. I would describe our process as a K-12 Accelerator that outputs students that have already understood the application of learning to the real world, who are ready to go out and create. Innovation is needed everywhere and in every field.

Our team consists of staff that are educators, principals, business and technology innovators. While we have top academic degrees from Stanford, MIT etc. we have on the ground direct experience in building three successful and award winning STEM Schools, from the ground up and shifting traditional schools into STEM School. We have done it, and in fact we are currently looking at a design of 22nd century model of a school innovation and learning centre, and we are excited about that.
