Innov8 Tech Education Services

What Innov8 Tech Education Services does

Innov8 Tech Education Services is a Dubai-based STEAM education provider founded in 2019 and operating from a single community makerspace at J3 Mall in Al Manara. The company delivers hands-on robotics, coding (block-based and Python), electronics, woodworking, and interdisciplinary STEAM workshops to children aged approximately 5-17, supplemented by birthday parties, seasonal holiday camps, school field trips, and online courses for remote learners. Its curriculum integrates Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics into interdependent units built around real-world applications, and is led by CEO Farida Dhambolawala, a British School Overseas accredited inspector with nearly two decades in education.

The underlying technology stack is largely third-party and educational-grade: mBot and mBot2 robotics platforms, Arduino-compatible and ESP32 controllers, Makey Makey kits, DJI educational drones, sensors and modules, and XENDOLL modular woodworking machines. Innov8 Tech packages these tools with proprietary lesson plans and workshop formats, including screen-free coding via tap-pen controllers and a machine-learning workshop where students train sentiment-classification models. The firm has built a small EdTech hardware storefront on its own website that resells these kits alongside its service offerings, and runs or co-hosts competitions including the HP STEAM Expo Innovation Award and the Changemakers Challenge with HP and the Expo School Programme.

Commercially, revenue is generated through multiple unit-priced and package-priced streams: per-child workshop fees (e.g., AED 75 single / AED 240 multi-pass for Halloween), 10-session robotics course packages with 6-month validity, non-refundable AED 1,000 birthday-party deposits plus per-child add-ons, weekly holiday camps, online course sales, educator professional development workshops, and EdTech hardware sales. B2B consultancy services for educational institutes — covering makerspace design (fixed or mobile), curriculum integration, and tool selection — represent a higher-ACV extension into the institutional market. Distribution is community-led through the J3 Mall physical hub, supplemented by a self-serve website, an active social presence across Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and LinkedIn, and direct outreach to schools. No external funding, parent company, or geographic expansion beyond the UAE has been disclosed.
