Young Inventors Challenge (YIC) requires teams of up to 2-5 secondary school students to put their minds together and come up with an invention. The purpose of the programme is to help build and encourage the creative and inventive capability among young people. ASTI started this program in 2013 as a pilot and the response have been remarkable ever since i.e. we have been growing at almost 100percent year on year.
As the year progresses, we have managed to reach out more schools in countries like Singapore, Philippines, Thailand and Indonesia. YIC 2023 students’ participation remarks the 2nd highest in YIC history. The student’s participation and invention ideas are overwhelming and outstanding. In the coming years, we hope to open up YIC to even more countries.
ASTI is proud to mention that Young Inventors Challenge has received international recognition from the Ministry of Education Malaysia for the year 2017 to 2023. In 2019, YIC was also shortlisted from over 1500 education projects from around the world to participate in the conference and competition called “Reimagining Education” held in London that was organised by the respected rating agency, QS international. YIC was also recognized as the top 10 projects run by an ALUMNI of the International Visitors Leadership Programme (IVLP) conducted by the US State department.
