1) Hi Nada, can you tell us what you've been up to since graduating from THINK Global School in 2022? Since graduating in 2022, I've been pursuing a passion I found while at TGS, sustainability, and I am currently majoring in engineering in renewable energy systems at Al Akhawayn University, in Ifrane, Morocco. But there is way more than that! I've had a chance also to explore the world of...

If any country resembles our curriculum, it’s the United Arab Emirates, where a never-ending sea of projects are dreamt up and brought to life, each more masterful than the last.
Futuristic skyscrapers form a formidable skyline in the emirate of Dubai. In neighboring Abu Dhabi, the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque provides one of the clearest examples of how geometry can be used to create an architectural masterpiece. Both represent a country that’s very in touch with its past, present, and future.
Alongside meandering among these feats of engineering, students will have the opportunity to learn firsthand about the Bedouins, the nomadic desert dwellers who constitute the United Arab Emirate’s oldest inhabitants. These hardy people introduced many of the interests that are still wildly popular in the United Arab Emirates today, including falconry and camel racing.
Sound like an adventure? Be sure to pack plenty of sunscreen and an open mind — you won’t look back.
