Young Tinker Fellowship

Imagine a future where every student, in every school, has access to top mentors guiding them to solve real-world problems.

The Ed Crisis

Today, students face an education crisis, lacking access to STEM education in schools. Is a student in grade 6 prepared for the tech world of 2030? Statistics show that 65% of children entering primary school today will end up working in completely new job types that don’t yet exist (World Economic Forum).
