Helping solve problems through
innovations and entrepreneurship
We are working towards building an equitable world through STEM education and skills of the future,
hence enabling makers and innovators.
The Idea
The Young Tinker Foundation builds “Skill Consciousness” and promotes “Problem-Solving through Hands-On STEM” (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) among high school students. We focus on empowering students to ideate, prototype, and build solutions. Our transformative initiatives- Young TinkerSpace (YTS) and Tinker on Wheels(ToW) have impacted over 270,000 students across India.
Why?
The world needs problem solvers to address its most pressing challenges and create jobs. That’s why we focus on empowering high school students, particularly in rural areas, with the right skills and problem-solving mindset. Our goal is to nurture the next generation of innovators and entrepreneurs who will drive change and make a lasting impact in their society.
