Dubai Lynx Student Hack Inspires the Region’s Next Creative Leaders

The Dubai Lynx Student Hack, held in strategic partnership with Dubai Media City, brought together top university talent from TECOM Group’s Education Cluster for an intense 24-hour creative challenge.

Four teams, each with five students, attended expert-led sessions before pitching their ideas to a jury of industry leaders, who evaluated creativity, strategy, and real-world impact.

Hosted at Dubai Knowledge Park, the two-day programme immersed students in a real-world brief: designing a 360° campaign to position Dubai as a global, learner-centric education hub, in line with the Education 33 Strategy.

The winning team—Maleeha Alam, Bhumi Bhatia, Brishnee Luximon, Marwah Ansar, and Sefan Herpassa Garomssa—stood out for strategic clarity, creativity, and alignment with Dubai’s long-term educational vision.

“Dubai Media City empowers young creatives to innovate and reshape the future of our industry,” said Majed Al Suwaidi, Senior VP of Dubai Media City. Ian Fairservice, Vice Chairman of Dubai Lynx, added, “This platform gives students the mentorship and visibility they need to thrive.”

Dubai Lynx Student Hack continues to be a launchpad for emerging talent, fostering innovation, hands-on experience, and the next generation of creative leaders in the region.
