Minds Inspired launches new sustainable development challenge
Dart’s Minds Inspired is preparing to roll-out a new sustainable development education challenge to all local high schools in September 2021, following a successful pilot programme with Cayman International School.
Finding myself during an internship
By Kathleen Torio, a student at the Cayman Islands Further Education Centre
"I am completely lost," were the four words running through my mind at the speed of light on the first day of my internship.
I’m a student currently studying creative media at the Cayman Islands Further Education Centre. In order to graduate from the school, every student must undertake an internship with a local business. The internship offers students an opportunity to experience and enhance our knowledge and understanding of the world of work, helping prepare us for our chosen career paths.
Coding to solve a problem
Software developers love to solve problems.
Code(Cayman), a non-profit organisation that designs and hosts software coding programmes, is working to solve a big problem, specifically that there aren't enough qualified Caymanians to fill the technology needs of the local business community.
Minds Inspired teams up with Code(Cayman)
Once considered a specialist skill reserved only for computer geeks and programming professionals, nowadays coding is considered an essential ability for students of all ages and interests.
SeaPerch ready to take the plunge again
Students from across the Cayman Islands will showcase their STEM — science, technology, engineering and mathematics — skills at the 2021 Cayman Islands SeaPerch Challenge, an underwater robotics competition in which youths put their engineering, problem solving, teamwork and technical skills to the test.
Exploring engineering over mid-term break
Marcus Fletcher, a grade-11 student at Cayman International School, knew he was interested in a career in engineering but didn’t know what type. Knowing Dart is an active development company in the Cayman Islands with a variety of STEM (science, technology, engineering, maths) roles, Marcus asked Dart if he could spend his mid-term break gaining work experience with various engineering teams.
