Young Scientist.in  is a startup founded in 2015 with the vision to create a scientific ecosystem in India. In the last hundred years, India has suffered a serious decline in its contribution to pure science. Indian scientists who have won world renown are becoming historical figures and no major invention has been produced recently. Emphasis is increasingly placed on adopting foreign technologies and engineer it to local demands. We believe that the problem is the lack of proper school environment. The sure way forward is to promote scientific literacy, eagerness to create indigenous solutions and publishing high-impact research papers. To achieve this, Young-Scientist is trying to create an ecosystem which would rekindle the imagination and curiosity in the younger generations, and to reinvent their passion for science learning and research. 

It is the policy of Young-Scientist.in. to provide equal employment opportunity (EEO) to all persons regardless of age, colour, national origin, citizenship status, physical or mental disability, race, religion, caste, creed, gender, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity and/or expression.

Philosophy

YOUNG SCIENTIST is striving to nurture a generation of scientifically thinking moral individuals. Truth is, science education in schools is far from being acceptable. The minds of the children are being forced to think in a restricted and subservient manner. Children have the right to be free and to think outside the box. The rigid mark-oriented mindset puts the children under unnecessary pressure and stress; they begin to hate the language of nature: Science and Mathematics. Demonstration of ability and knowledge during examinations and tests is given more priority than for intellectual growth. This encourages rote learning, superficial understanding, misconceptions, and even perpetuates ignorance. We believe that the emphasis has to be placed on learning and we are out to make science education more fun and interesting.

Vision and Mission

Our vision is to create a scientific ecosystem which would help produce rational solutions for our everyday problems. We strongly believe that scientific research and invention requires imagination and curiosity more than a specialised degree. One can now obtain the required knowledge at their own place and pace through modern methods. School education has to adapt considering these changes, to emphasize more on skills than on knowledge, to nurture the intellectual potential in every child.

So, our mission is to rekindle children's imagination and reinvent their curiosity, a necessary motive which gets less priority in schools and parents who are blinded by the glamour of material benefits. We create educational content, provide training to students and teachers, and find new ways of community outreach to distribute our intellectual property. At Young-Scientist, we welcome all those who share our vision to get involved, collaborate, invent, innovate, learn and flourish.
