Young Technology Scholars
Young Technology Scholars (YTS) is a two-week residential summer program where students are exposed to real-world engineering and problem-solving. Through hands-on learning and interdisciplinary coursework, students will learn how to leverage technology to solve complex problems. We wish to turn the next generation of students into tinkerers, idea generators, and fearless pattern sniffers with a strong motivation to identify and work on the most challenging problems of the world.
Program dates: May 25 - June 7, 2025
Learning Experiences
Solve a Global Challenge
Step into the shoes of a tinkerer! Learn how to uncover the ‘why’ behind challenges. Our scholars - like the one in the picture on the left - analyze the humanistic, social, historical, economic, and technical contexts of problems and make connections between disciplines.
Why is this inspiring? You will be with innovators connecting the dots across disciplines and learning to solve challenges in a way that can help society.
Fun Fact: We have loads of mysteries planned for you to solve. Will you accept the challenge?
Unleash your Creativity
Have you ever dreamt of building a rover to explore another planet, like The Martian? At YTS, you will work with your team to create a teleoperated rover from scratch, mount a camera on it and explore the world around you.This could be the first step toward your space exploration dreams!
Why is this exciting? Creativity is your superpower, and at YTS, it is limitless.
Fun Fact: Creativity + Tech = Infinite Possibilities. You have what it takes!
Change the way you think!
YTS is not just a program, it is a transformative experience. Here you will collaborate with peers from diverse backgrounds driven by a shared goal to learn and create. With the maker-builder model, you will tackle challenges from scratch, rewire your perspective and walk away as a tinkerer who knows how to Learn, Unlearn, and Relearn.
Why is this transformative? You will not only build innovative solutions but also reshape your approach to problem-solving, leaving with a changemaker’s mindset.
Fun Fact: YTS journey ends with you becoming a tinkerer!

Hear from our Young Tech Scholars
I love the new curriculum that I am learning and it's not something you learn in school.
Aanya Bhimrajka | BD Somani International School | Mumbai | Grade 9 2023
It's not about what you learn, it's about how you learn it and till what depth you go to learn it and I think that is what YTS best provides.
Dhriti Maheshwari | The HDFC School | Gurugram | Grade 11 2023
A campus which really recreates a college life as a brief trailer for us high school students.
Aryaveer Majumdar | Oberoi International School | Mumbai | Grade 9 2023
I have been enjoying the sports activities a lot. I have played football, cricket and badminton, so its really good here.
Bhrigu Uppal | Sanskriti School | Delhi | Grade 11 2023
YTS is a great opportunity for students to discover how to build stuff that is relevant to the society.
Alok Mittal | Founder and CEO, Indifi Technologies | Founder & Trustee, Plaksha University
YTS was conceived six years ago to capture the spirit on understanding how to teach the kids that disciplines are integrated and how they come together to solve really complex real world situations.
