Digital Impact Makers Award

Our sons and daughters, students; our partners in the public and private sectors...
It gives me great pleasure, as the President of Amman Arab University and Chairman of the 'Amman Arab University Award -- 'Digital Impact Makers' (Digital Impact Makers Award -- DIMA-AAU), to present this guide which embodies our university's vision to discover and empower a generation of creative and innovative digital talents; a generation that transforms its imagination into practical models and experiences that improve people's lives and serve the nation within a clear path of sustainable development. The university has built its pioneering position by combining solid academic excellence with an applied spirit that turns knowledge into measurable impact, and this award is one manifestation of this approach.

The award aligns with the vision of economic modernization in Jordan, particularly within the implementation engine: the future services sector which bets on digital content, electronic gaming industries, and platform industries, and the implementation engine: entrepreneurship and creativity which places innovation and entrepreneurship at the heart of growth and opportunity creation. Directing our students' energies towards designing purposeful games and high-value YouTube channels opens practical pathways for a knowledge economy, deepens our national contribution to digital value chains, and qualifies our youth for freelance work opportunities and emerging project entrepreneurship.

The 'Digital Impact Makers' award (Digital Impact Makers Award -- DIMA-AAU) does not stop at creativity for creativity's sake; rather, it links the idea to our reality through the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)]: [quality education, smart cities, health and well-being, responsible consumption and production... etc. Therefore, the award's two tracks (Electronic Games/YouTube Channels) were designed to be platforms for learning by doing: from identifying the problem and formulating the message, to designing the user experience, digital safety, information reliability, and then measuring community impact. In cooperation with our partners, we are keen to disseminate winning projects and expand their partnerships, so they become inspiring, scalable, and sustainable models.

I invite our schools, teachers, parents, and partners in government, private, and civil society sectors to support our students on this journey; talent flourishes when it finds a nurturing environment and clear pathways. Amman Arab University will remain a home for excellence and innovation, granting its students confidence, tools, and opportunities for exposure and networking. We look forward to seeing you on the award platforms, with works that match the ambition of a nation that accepts nothing less than leadership.

May God grant success.
