YIST-Primary School educational program aims to stimulate pupils’ curiosity in the world around them and encourage critical and creative thinking. Our goal at YIST is to create a foundation for science at the primary level. To fulfill these aims, pupils need to acquire knowledge and the skills of scientific inquiry: identifying questions that can be addressed scientifically; planning and carrying out experiments; evaluating data; and recognizing the limitations of their own and others’ work.

YIST-Middle School educational program help youth develop skills through hands-on collaborative learning. YIST academic programs encourage students to pursue further studies in math, science, technology & engineering and support the early development of talent necessary to meet the demands of a high-tech workforce & entrepreneurial needs of the future.

YIST makes a distinctive, concerted effort to motivate girls to consider career opportunities in the sciences. The Girls Institute of Science & Technology encourages girls (starting at Pre-K) to understand the natural world and provide a multidisciplinary.
