Webinars

Once selected in the programme, you will receive long term support curated to your needs, until you graduate. You will attend a 4 week intensive summer programme at Ashoka University and receive continuous guidance throughout the year to support your journey towards achieving excellence. The 2024 programme centers around an interdisciplinary approach to Mathematics and Science, incorporating arts, social sciences, and extending beyond these fields.

This programme, facilitated by renowned faculty from leading universities, will equip you with hands-on learning and problem-solving skills for tackling real-world challenges. For instance, in 2023, the Great Ideas Seminar had Prof K VijayRaghavan (Chair of the Science Advisory Council, Ashoka University), Prof Somak Raychaudhury (Vice Chancellor and Professor of Astrophysics, Ashoka University), Prof Yamuna Krishnan (Professor of Chemistry, University of Chicago), Prof Jack Szostak (Nobel Laureate, Professor of Chemistry and Chemical Biology, University of Chicago) and Prof Priyamvada Natarajan (Professor of Astronomy and Physics, Yale University).

4-week campus learning experience

Great Ideas Seminar

A bridge between innovative concepts and curious minds, our Great Ideas Seminars assemble luminaries from diverse fields and expose our young learners to new discoveries and horizon-expanding inventions.

Experiential Science and Mathematics Projects

Choice of twelve deep-dive, specialist tracks

In the Experiential Science Projects, all the students will have the opportunity to do hands-on projects from two areas out of ten specialized tracks under the supervision of researchers from various international universities and institutes.

The Mathematics for All aims to open the applied perspective of math by connecting it to arts, sciences, technology, and more. The Mathematics Problem Solving elective, open to 11th and 12th graders, offers specialized mentoring by International Mathematics Olympiad experts.
