The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is set to organise a special
programme for school children called the "Young Scientist Programme" "YUva
VIgyani KAryakram" (YUVIKA).
The key objective of this initiative is to
impart basic knowledge on space science, space technology and Space Applications
to younger students in emerging trends in space science and technology.
ISRO said it has chalked out this programme to "Catch them young". Youngsters
can be involved and excel in space science and technology if they get an
opportunity because they are the future building blocks of the nation.
The YUVIKA programme is also expected to encourage more students to pursue
science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) based research and
aligned careers.
The Young Scientist Programme - YUVIKA was conceived to
impart basic knowledge on Space Science, Space Technology and space applications
to younger students with a preference to rural areas of the country.
The
programme is thus aimed at creating awareness about the emerging trends in
science and technology amongst the school-going students. The programme
envisages two weeks of class room training, practical demonstration of
experiments, hands-on CANSAT, a Robotic kit, Model rocketry interactions with
ISRO scientists and field visits.
The programme was conducted
successfully in 2019, 2022 and 2023 with the participation of 111, 153 and 337
students, respectively, representing every State and Union Territory.
The
course will cover classroom lectures, hands-on activities like robotics
challenges, DIY assembly of rockets/satellites, sky gazing, etc., technical
facility visits, and interaction with space scientists.
