Our Year 9 GEMS X team have been extremely lucky this week as they have attended two days of a virtual bootcamp in Dubai. On the downside, it has meant that students have had to face two 6am starts! The team attended workshops run by industry experts in a variety of fields from Design, Digital Marketing and Law.
Alongside this, they have been working with their mentor Helen Al Uzaizi to develop their final pitch to judges next Tuesday. Helen has over 15 years’ experience in business and now works with young entrepreneurs around the world. This week she has been giving our students valuable feedback and advice on how to develop the ‘cstraw’ water filtration system dream into a reality!
The students have done incredibly well by being shortlisted from over 5000 students across the GEMS global network of schools.
Well done and good luck to Les, Jack, Ben & Angus.
