DUBAI, UAE, December 16, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --
Dubai's Most Gifted Programme
is an invite-only academic programme, specifically designed for the
brightest students from across the country. The programme is
facilitated by the ASSET team, from 16th Dec 2018
to 3rd Jan 2019 at the GEMS Modern Academy.
The programme provides academically-gifted students with
university-level learning opportunities from global industry
experts. Students from grades 6 to 9 have qualified for this
programme by appearing in the ASSET Talent Search (ATS) test.
It is for the first time the ASSET team is bringing their gifted
learning programme to UAE, allowing students to connect and
collaborate with other like-minded peers and explore their
strengths. "With the need to have an advanced program locally
available, we urged EI to organise an academic winter camp at our
school. The program modules have been well planned and the students
attending will benefit from the opportunity to hone leadership
qualities and develop advanced problem-solving skills," says
Nargish Khambatta, Principal, GEMS
Modern Academy.
Argument-Driven Science Learning,
Leaders of Their Own Learning, Be a Maker of
the Internet of Things are a few of the
modules that are covered in the programme. "Our courses are a
reflection of current trends in the world and equip students
so they can provide meaningful solutions to
humanity's needs today as well as start reflecting on
the needs of tomorrow," says Shekhar Hardikar, Academic Director of the
programme.

The ASSET Talent Search (ATS) test is an above level test that
