We are so thrilled to showcase the inspirational achievements of GEMS Education students at the 7th 2024, hosted this weekend at GEMS Modern Academy,Dubai.
Representing eight GEMS Clusters and 44 GEMS schools in the UAE and Qatar, our winning students showcased exceptional creativity, securing substantial seed funding prizes across various categories.
The latest edition of an event that has become an annual highlight in the GEMS calendar, was a nine-month innovation marathon, engaging 350 teams and 1,100 brilliant young minds.
From ideation to ex*****on, students embarked on a rigorous journey, culminating in a grand exhibition last November. The Gold teams progressed to a final online round, refining their projects with industry mentorship, and presented them to an expert panel of judges.
This year, the finalist teams and individuals presented game-changing projects, tackling global issues such as food security, health, gender equality, clean energy, and education.
Nargish Khambatta, Senior Vice President – Education of GEMS and the Principal/CEO of GEMS Modern Academy, summed up: "The journey of the GEMS Global Innovation Challenge epitomises the essence of education’s aspirations – nurturing creativity, resilience, and a fervour for problem-solving.
“Over the past nine months, our students have translated ideas into impactful solutions, embodying the spirit of innovation that defines us. As we celebrate their achievements today, we reaffirm our commitment to fostering an environment that encourages ingenuity and equips our students to be the architects of tomorrow’s changes.”
Jordan Bray, VP of Plug and Play Tech Center, announced key mentorship opportunities for the top three teams, helping them bring their products to market. It was also inspiring to have GEMS alumnus Quddus Pativada, founder and CEO of AI start-up ASI, share his entrepreneurial journey and vision for addressing educational disparities through digital learning.
The success of our students underscores GEMS Education’s commitment to fostering innovation, critical thinking, and global citizenship. These young innovators have not only brought honour to their schools but have also brought fresh thinking to solve some of the world's most pressing challenges.
We’re already looking forward to the 8th edition in 2025!

Ekansh Nitalie Garg (Y5D) is very happy to share that he has finally made the donation of 12 inches of hair to the Friends Of Cancer Patients (FOCP) on 7th June 2021.
He has been growing his hair for about 2 years. He has seen a very close friend of his go through cancer, who lost his hair due to chemo, and thats when he started thinking of helping in some way.
He was determined and felt very strongly for the cause. Being a boy he was often questioned and teased for his long locks but it never bothered him. After making the donation he said I WILL DO IT AGAIN and encourage other boys and girls to do the same.
Ekansh has been raising funds to sponsor rescue dogs at the Animals & Us- Rescue and Care facility Fujairah and also plans to spend his summer holidays dedicated to bringing some cheer to kids affected by Covid-19.
We are all very proud of him!
