Dibia DREAM Expands DREAM Academy to Bermuda, Strengthening STEM Education for Youth
Dibia DREAM BDA, a global leader in STEM and sports-based youth engagement, is proud to announce the expansion of its after-school DREAM Academy in Bermuda. Building on its success with the Spark Summer Institute, which has been serving Bermudian youth since 2019, this expansion will provide much-needed STEM education and mentorship opportunities for students after school and on weekends.
The launch of DREAM Academy and STEM Saturdays in Bermuda is a significant step toward empowering young minds with the skills necessary to excel in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). This initiative comes at a crucial time as Bermuda faces challenges in math and science proficiency among students. By integrating engaging, hands-on STEM activities with mentorship and sports, Dibia DREAM BDA aims to provide a well-rounded learning experience that enhances critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
The DREAM Academy will be offered at six primary schools across Bermuda:
- West Pembroke School
- Dalton E. Tucker Primary School
- Port Royal Primary School
- Paget Primary
- Elliot Primary School
- Harrington Sound Primary School
This expansion is made possible through a strong partnership with the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Youth, Social Development, and Seniors, as well as generous support from sponsors including The Bezos Family Foundation, Centennial Foundation, Athene Bermuda, Deloitte Bermuda, Everen, LCCA, and Siyanse. With their support, Dibia DREAM BDA will now be able to serve over 200 youth after school and on weekends, fostering a pipeline of future STEM leaders.
"This expansion marks a major milestone for STEM education in Bermuda. We are deeply committed to ensuring that every child, regardless of background, has access to quality STEM learning opportunities. Through DREAM Academy and STEM Saturdays, we are not just teaching skills—we are shaping global citizens who will lead the future in science, innovation, and technology," said Brandon Okpalobi, Founder of Dibia DREAM.
Since 2019, Dibia DREAM has positively impacted Bermudian youth through its Spark Summer Institute, engaging students at Warwick Academy with an interactive curriculum that merges STEM education with sports. By extending its programming beyond the summer months, the organization will be able to provide year-round support, further contributing to Bermuda’s STEM Signature Schools initiative and addressing educational challenges in math and science.
Dibia DREAM’s approach focuses on experiential learning, mentorship, and real-world applications of STEM concepts. The program aims to build confidence, resilience, and creativity in students, equipping them with the tools needed to thrive in an increasingly technology-driven world.
With the support of the government and private sector, the DREAM Academy’s expansion represents a transformational step forward for Bermuda’s education system. By investing in STEM education, Bermuda is investing in its future—one where young minds are prepared to compete and succeed on a global scale.
