About
Youth Education in Sciences or YES is a digital education initiative focused on providing zero-cost, low-equipment, experiment-based resources and programs for children aged 6-10 in India. Our effort is to curate an original science program in a variety of STEM subjects to support the early education of children from underserved backgrounds and to simultaneously increase their access to scientific learning and curiosity while driving the spirit of innovation in the country.
At the heart of the project is the YES Academy which hosts innovative, age-appropriate, and subject-specific courses drawn from the discipline of science. For this, we have procured the support of area-specific tutors, and collaborated with them to design our interactive zero-equipment curriculum. The YES Academy is comprised of:
1. YES Grow (ages 6-10):
Biology: Evolutionary Sciences
Physics: Electricity and Magnetism
Chemistry: Environmental Processes
2. YES Prep (ages 10-14):
Astronomy: Introduction to Star Formation
Biology: Genetics and Bioinformatics
Physics: Mechanics and Kinematics
3. YES Apex (ages 14-18):
Biology: Epidemiology and Health
Physics: Nanomaterial Synthesis and Applications
Computer Science: Quantum Computing in Action
