Hale Education and Inspirit AI to host summer intensive boot camp
Hale Education Group, the UAE's leading educational consultancy, and Inspirit AI, the preeminent global provider of AI education, have agreed to host two summer intensive boot camps in Dubai June and August. Developed by Stanford and MIT graduate students, Inspirit AI has developed an innovative Artificial Intelligence programme to expose high school students to its core technologies, including applications, foundational concepts, and programming tools through interactive lectures and coding labs. By emphasizing the application of this knowledge, students will not only learn about different machine learning models but also apply those models to real data sets. As part of the boot camp, students will complete an instructor-led group project applying AI to a particular discipline (such as music, healthcare, finance, astrophysics) using their new coding skills. 'We are excited to collaborate with the cutting-edge leader in the AI high school educational space and bring InspiritAI's innovative curriculum directly to students in Dubai this summer,' said Peter Davos, Founder and CEO of Hale Education. 'Over the past three years, many of Hale's students that have secured acceptances to Columbia, Stanford, Brown, and Penn have integrated AI-related experiences into their personal projects, which I believe have been pivotal to their university admissions decisions. By hosting these summer intensive boot camps, we endeavor to help students leverage this experience into further developing their projects and integrate them into their personal narratives and university applications,' he adds. Inspirit AI has worked with students in over 2,000 high schools in over 100 countries globally since its founding at Stanford in 2018. Inspirit's instructors are graduate students and industry professionals from MIT, Stanford, and the Ivy League schools committed to helping students build AI proficiency and impactful projects that leverage the technology for social good. 'Inspirit is thrilled to collaborate with Hale Education this summer to offer an interdisciplinary AI research program,' says Adeesh Goel, Inspirit's founder. 'From artists to engineers, all students can wield the tools of the technology to improve social conditions and bolster their university admissions profiles.' Hale Education Group is celebrating its fourteenth successful application year, with its students receiving in excess of $12 Million in scholarships and securing a record-breaking seven acceptances to Columbia, among other leading universities. Four Hale students secured undergraduate acceptances to Carnegie Mellon's School of Computer Science, which enrolls less than 50 international undergraduates annually, and another was the first student to receive a full cost of attendance Jefferson Scholarship to the University of Virginia, a first in the Middle East. With over 100 acceptances to the University of California, 22 to Kings, and 15 to Ivy League universities, Hale celebrated another banner year. Hale's annual Ivy Insider panel discussion, which attracted over 400 attendees last year, is scheduled to occur next month on May 18, will once again feature a panel of high achieving students accepted to top US, UK, European, and Canadian universities, once again highlighting its student success stories. The summer intensive boot camps will be held at Hale Education Group's office in TECOM (Barsha Heights), located in the One Tower, which offers direct metro access. The dates of the programme are confirmed for June 30 - July 11 and August 11 - 22. Students can choose either set of dates by visiting

Pemo partners with Hale Education Group to provide UAE students with summer internship programme
Dubai, United Arab Emirates: Pemo, an all-in-one spend management platform and a leading UAE-based FinTech, has announced a partnership with the Hale Education Group to provide High School students with hands-on experience of the business world, via a dedicated Summer Internship Programme. The programme, spearheaded by Pemo Co-Founder, Ayham Gorani and Peter Davos, Founder and CEO of Hale Education, has been uniquely developed to provide students with a firm grasp of working in a successful UAE home-grown FinTech, combining research and practical skills that should help support their Further Education journey. During the programme, students will be able to experience working on a range of different areas of the business, from product and software development, marketing and operations. It is hoped that by introducing students to the fast-paced world of startups, it will help aid their understanding of how to run a business, giving them a real view of entrepreneurialism. For the last twelve years, Hale has helped GCC students secure acceptances to leading US universities, including Stanford, MIT, Caltech, and Ivy League schools. 'Given the emergence of FinTech as one of the drivers of the global - and regional economy - and Pemo's phenomenal trajectory as a thriving UAE business, students will now have the ability to not only apply their learning in a professional setting, but meaningfully contribute to Pemo's growth story,' says Peter Davos, founder and CEO of Hale Education. 'Internships are a key component in the college admissions process, particularly those at firms like Pemo, in which interns work on small projects that lead to real impact', he added. The successful candidates are set to work closely with the Founders at Pemo on a series of interactive and real-life business and research tasks. Commenting on the initiative, Ayham Gorani, Co-Founder of Pemo said: 'We are excited to expose local students to the intersection of technology, entrepreneurship, and finance, empowering them with real-world skills through structured work experiences. By working directly with High School students, we hope to inspire them about the opportunities that exist in finance and technology careers, and also give them a taste of entrepreneurial life. 'Perhaps one day these students will go on to lead and start their own businesses, and so we're excited to play a role in opening their eyes to what is possible. We could think of no better partner than Hale Education to do this with, and we're looking forward to supporting the development of the next generation of UAE FinTech talent.' Pemo started back in 2022, with the company scaling rapidly following a series of investments and product developments that now sees the company work with over 5,000 customers, providing them with fast, transparent, and simplified invoice payment and expense management solutions, as well as smart corporate cards. Hale students interested in applying for the internship programme must submit a resume, transcript, and test scores to Hale Education.
