Summer program | Class 9-12 (by May 2026)
YTS+
2 week summer experience for those who are curious about the ‘Why’
YTS+ is a two-week immersive summer program for tinkerers, makers-builders and problem solvers. Earlier called Young Technology Scholars, it now has multiple tracks for high schoolers who are interested in subjects like biology, economics, mathematics and physics but do not want to follow the conventional paths of becoming doctors, economists, mathematicians or physicists.
It goes beyond memorising formulas or learning concepts for assessments and exams. It helps students figure out which topics and subjects excite them enough to stay up late and which ones they might want to pursue in the future.
It has 3 exciting tracks for students to choose from.
Choose a track
After an initial common learning phase, students choose a track to explore ideas across engineering, mathematics, biology and economics.
Biology beyond medicine
Solutions inspired by life itself
Hands-on experiments to explore how biological systems can help address problems in healthcare, environment, sanitation and biotechnology.
Data Science, Economics and Business
Using numbers to shape choices
Harnessing data-driven insights for solving real-world economic and business questions. Integrating data science, Al-ML, economic and business principles.
Robotics in action
Machines that think and act
Building and testing machines using robotics, electronics, and systems thinking to solve challenges in mobility, automation, agriculture, sustainability, and more.
