Spark Tank Programme
Spark Tank is Dwight’s incubator, a program designed to nurture student innovation, entrepreneurship, and leadership skills beyond the classroom. All Dwight students can participate in the Spark Tank Program to develop their ideas for new businesses, non-profits, or products.
Dwight is one of the only K-12 schools in the UAE to offer this incubator experience.
We believe that the next “big ideas” will come from the under-18 sector. Spark Tank provides students with real-life experience and essential skills beyond academics and theory, so they can pursue their dreams now rather than at some uncertain time in the future.
The Spark Tank space at Dwight School Dubai is equipped with a range of machinery and tools including a laser cutter and 3D printers, allowing students to rapidly develop and prototype, offering ways in which they can bring their ideas to life.
