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).
Get a chance to transform the educational journey of students
“Young Tinker Fellowship” is a one-year transformative fellowship program aimed at empowering passionate individuals to teach school students from grades 6-12 in under-resourced schools. As a Fellow, you will play a pivotal role in shaping the future of young minds while developing your own leadership and teaching skills.
