Star International Mirdif new facilities include state-of-the-art STEAM+ Lab & Art Room

Star International School Mirdif, a customized British curriculum school in the heart of Mirdif, has unveiled its newest facilities, including its cutting-edge STEAM + Makerspace, Art Room, and Science Labs, as well as the start of its GCSE/IGCSE and BTEC programs this academic year.

The STEAM+ Curriculum provides students with a platform to discover existing global issues, establish a solution and develop a plan to address their concerns while receiving mentorship and guidance. The cutting-edge STEAM + Curriculum has enabled students to experiment within the fields of robotics, design, and blue sky thinking technology. Keelan Gallagher, the STEAM Department Leader, comments, “It has been a great experience to design a space dedicated to collaborative working, promoting awareness among students of Global issues and introducing them to the latest advancements in Technological Education.” 

Principal Neal Oates comments, “We are dedicated to further investing in our facilities to provide a world-class, educational experience for our students. With the launch of our new world-class state-of-the-art facilities, we will continuously strive to guide our students to reach their full potential and trust they will enjoy our newest additions”.

As technology advances, schools must continue to provide a curriculum that includes an advanced learning environment, technical assistance, and design education. The British Curriculum school has introduced its IGCSE and BTEC education programmes, as well as the STEAM+ Curriculum, as part of Star Mirdif’s continued strategy to preserve its position as a top educational institution. 

Since the debut of the STEAM+ Curriculum, students have explored topics such as ecosystems, pollution, and recycling, and are currently working on exciting prototypes aimed at preventing waste from damaging the oceans. The + denotes a desire to go above and beyond by providing a STEAM curriculum that includes Enterprise, Innovation, and Life Skills. As part of the international Tycoon competition, students will start a firm. Students are allowed to create products and answers to the world’s most pressing issues in order to save the planet and our species. Students are allowed to create products and answers to the world’s most pressing issues in order to save the planet and our species. To supplement the overall curriculum, Star Mirdif is incorporating vocational qualifications such as food safety and head and safety. The goal is to instil a sense of awe and wonder in all kids and prepare them for the world of tomorrow.

The wide range of topics addressed in a science class need a variety of specialised equipment and, in some cases, multiple facilities. Star Mirdif’s Science Lab provides students with a streamlined learning experience that allows them to make better use of supplies, reduce delivery times, and conduct more experiments without being limited by equipment. The Star Mirdif’s Science Labs will enable more access to advanced learning, cutting-edge technology, and a collaborative and educational area.
