NIMSA serious subject, delivered by makers
A real subject, taught properly
Hand tools, proper technique, and progression you can assess, mapped to UK National Curriculum D&T and KHDA outcomes. Students learn a craft, not a one-off activity.
We supply the room
We fit out and restock your DT workshop with benches, tools and consumables, as a one-off project and a termly supply. No other Dubai provider does both.
We train your teachers
CPD days for DT and STEAM staff, so the skill stays in your school after we leave.

We publish our prices
Every programme has a from-price on our rate card, so procurement doesn’t need three meetings to see a number. Most providers here keep theirs behind an enquiry form.
Mapped to the curriculum you already answer to
Every programme lines up with UK National Curriculum D&T, carries on to IGCSE and A-level Design & Technology, and fits KHDA and MOE frameworks.

We’re KHDA-approved. Every session comes with a risk assessment, and a safeguarding pack goes out with every proposal. Sessions adapt for students of determination where we can.
Read our safeguarding and inclusion policy
I’m Luca, founder of The Makers Society. I started TMS because I think every student should get real tools in their hands instead of kits and glue guns. Tell me what your school needs, and if we’re not the right fit I’ll tell you.
Message me on WhatsAppAnswers for DT coordinators
