Commencing from Kindergarten, our students embark on a journey of technological mastery, progressing through a digital citizenship program until Grade 12. Our integrated STREAM approach ensures a seamless blend of coding, engineering, design, and robotics.
At Dubai School of Modern Skills (SMS), we prioritize hands-on engagement with innovative tools, particularly fostering mastery of G Suite for Education. In KG1 to Grade 5, iPads facilitate interactive learning, while Grades 6-12 students utilize MacBooks. This tailored approach aligns with the evolving tech landscape, propelling students to 'think forward' and fostering a culture of innovation, problem-solving, and unlocking their full potential.
SMS transcends conventional learning, inspiring students to be digital leaders. By embedding coding skills in digital literacy, we equip them to navigate and innovate in an ever-changing world. Welcome to SMS, where we don't just teach technology; we shape future innovators, problem solvers, and leaders in the digital age.
We are forced to explore areas and solutions that would solve these issues as human impact on the environment is increasingly becoming more detrimental to earth’s ecosystems.
Some of the topics that will be focused on in this course are: Renewable and Non-Renewable Energy Resources, Human Impact on the Environment, Engineering and design standards (ETS) to solve environmental problems, Ecology, Recycle, Reuse and Reduce methodologies and innovations Purpose:
1) You will develop skills that can be applied to ANY course of study you choose to pursue in the future:
- Organizational skills.
- Study Skills.
- Critical thinking skills.
- Analytical writing skills.
- Data analysis These skills are NOT specific for success in science only, but in ALL academic endeavours (law, business degrees, etc).
1) For prospective science majors, this course provides a solid foundation for higher-level science courses in high school
2) For students interested in pursuing careers revolving around forensic sciences (Dubai Police)
3) For students NOT interested in pursuing a collegiate science degree, this course provides an excellent opportunity to earn college credit to satisfy your degree programs’ mandatory science requirement.
4) Assuming you maintain a high level of interest & enthusiasm throughout the year, you should find the course stimulating & fun Our Sustainable development students has collaborated to work on sustainable solutions that can be adopted at their second home SMS, this was their way to contribute & have a positive impact on the school environment as well as the wider community of UAE and it's sustainable goals.
They have also explored related events such as WETEX which was hosted last November and enjoyed exploring sustainability related technologies. In our elementary section, teaching sustainability is an important component of fostering environmental awareness and teaching our young learners how to be responsible citizens.
Through engaging and age-appropriate activities, students learn about ecosystems, the importance of conserving resources, and the impact of human actions on the planet. Lessons incorporate hands-on experiences, such as gardening projects or waste reduction initiatives, to instill a sense of responsibility for the environment. By integrating sustainability education into the curriculum, we aim to empower young minds with the knowledge and values necessary to contribute positively to a more sustainable future.
