Call for Proposal for Space Kidz India’s Young Scientist India program

The Office of Principal Scientific Adviser to the Government of India is facilitating the 9th Edition of Space Kidz India’s (SKI) Young Scientist India Program.

SKI created the “Young Scientist Program” in the year of 2013 where students were encouraged to participate in what interests them to connect and collaborate with others on new discoveries. Young Scientist India (YSI) is the flagship event of Space Kidz India. It is a platform for high school students to showcase their innovative ideas and to encourage them to explore their creativity. YSI is an innovation challenge to promote science awareness among high school students’, to increase their understanding of science, and to attract them into scientific careers and explore, as there is a big vacuum in the enrolment of young scientists in our research centres.

The YSI Challenge awards over half a million rupees in prizes to the best innovation for the budding innovator/entrepreneurs in five categories that holistically represent the solution types necessary to build an economy that works for all in the digital era. Over the years the challenge format was split into five categories, Agriculture, App development, Electronics, Robotics, and Space Sciences.

Objectives:

YSI is an innovation challenge to promote science awareness among high school students’, to increase their understanding of science, and to attract them into scientific careers and explore, as there is a big vacuum in the enrolment of young scientists in our research centres. 

This is an initiative to identify and nurture the innovative kids who can potentially become the future successful entrepreneurs if mentored and given necessary support.
