About YTL
Our story
At the Young Talents Lab, we allow students aged 13-17 from all over the world to start their journey toward careers at the intersection of STEM and social impact.
With the widespread availability of information at a student’s fingertips, and the potential to use AI to synthesize and interpret information, critical thinking and creativity are among the most vital sets of skills to cultivate in young students. However, there are significant barriers to honing these skills in traditional classroom settings and a lack of consensus on best practices. However, to succeed in research or business in the age of AI, and to harness AI for societal or scientific benefit, students need to begin to develop these skills at a young age.
What do we do?
We take a two-fold approach to supporting young students as they begin their journey toward tackling some of the world's most complex problems
- Through summer, spring, and winter schools, students will learn the basics of topics of significant interest to society:
- Earth system and climate science
- Epidemiology and public health
- Artificial intelligence and scientific computing
- Bioinformatics
Our Courses
We offer traditional course-based learning in an online format to maximize accessibility, participation, and reach
Lectures are aimed at a university level but with expanded background material presented to allow early learners to develop a framework on which to construct further knowledge.
