Young Scientist Programme 2025: An Introduction to AI, ML, Drone Technology & Robotics

With the rapid utilisation of cutting-edge technologies such as AI, ML and Robotics, it has become essential for young students to be trained in these new-age developments by experts so that they can confidently adopt their usage in a transformed economy. In India, the AI and ML segments are expected to grow by more than 20% per annum until 2030, and several global firms are already establishing AI and ML teams here. As the workforce of tomorrow is expected to upskill itself accordingly, many students and professionals are training in these advanced concepts in the present.

This blog attempts to demystify these technologies and explains the role of AI and ML courses in India in bridging the technological divide. SCIL’s “Young Scientist Programme”, by offering the most compact and tailored training of advanced AI, ML, Robotics and DroneTechnology for students in India, presents an excellent opportunity for young learners to introduce themselves to niche technological learning and to ensure a sound background for their success in future.

Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning

Artificial Intelligence is the application of technology to achieve intelligent outcomes through the automation of tasks in a manner that is “human-like”. By reducing the need for human intervention, AI achieves efficient outcomes and reduces the “search costs” of information. Its use is widespread - ranging from voice assistants, digital chatbots and cars to even satellite communications. Integration of AI with other technologies and its applications in several fields such as medicine, oceanography, architecture and engineering ensure that the workplace demand for professionals skilled in its use remains high in the future.

Machine Learning (ML) is the component of AI that can train machines to learn based on supplied data and improve with time, without requiring instruction. Supervised Machine Learning refers to machines being trained through utilising examples of solving practical issues. AI and ML are increasingly adopted due to their ability to forecast business trends and solve several issues of large organisations.

Robotics, Drone Technology and 3-D Printing

Robotics is the branch of study that involves designing, constructing and utilising robots for use in productive tasks. Robots that are programmed to operate with varying degrees of autonomy have many applications such as use in surgical procedures and manufacturing, among others. Robots combine efficiency, safety, automation and technological innovation and have a crucial role to play in the modern world. Drone Technology is a subset of Robotics and involves the design and construction of robotic drones, which have applications in sectors such as agriculture and defence.

3-D Printing or “additive manufacturing” involves the creation of 3-D objects from computer-based designs by depositing materials such as plastics and metals, layer by layer, according to a pre-specified design. As a novel technology, it is already being used in several manufacturing industries such as aerospace and car manufacturing.

Why Should Students Learn These Technologies?

In the “Tech Wave” of today, all segments of the Indian society including businesses, institutions and individuals are increasingly relying on these technologies due to the benefits offered in terms of greater efficiency and precision. This makes it the right time for students to be well introduced to them so that they can be prepared to gain in their future academic and professional activities. The ideal programme for students should combine these technologies in a beginner-friendly way, and offer hands-on projects with applications on practical issues.

The Young Scientist Programme 2025

The Young Scientist Programme by Shard Center for Innovation Limited (SCIL) is specifically designed to offer a comprehensive and hands-on training to young students in the application of cutting-edge technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Robotics and Drone Technology to enable them to build a sound knowledge base at the forefront of innovations. The programme is offered in the following segments:

The Primary (7 - 10 Yrs) programme provides a learning-by-doing led training on block-based Coding, pre-Robotics, Scratch, STEM Aptitude and Design Thinking to young Scientists in an inquisitive and joyful environment under expert guidance, to hone their curiosity and scientific thinking. Important lessons on Communication skills are also delivered to ensure their holistic development.

The Intermediate (11-14 Yrs) programme aims to develop the genius of young scientific learners by training them on Robotics, Drone Assembly, elementary 3-D Printing, Sensors, AI/ML and IoT in an experimental manner to provide a holistic STEM education. Lessons on Personality Development and Teamwork also further develop their inter-personal skills.

The Advanced (15-18 Yrs) programme trains our young innovators in the latest technologies such as AI programming / Python, Machine Learning, Data Science, Drone Configuration & Assembly, Robotics Configuration & Assembly, Sensors, Biometrics, 3-D printing and Applications of IoT, and allows them to solve real-world challenges under expert supervision. Career Counselling also enables them to scout the best opportunities in the domains of Innovation and Enterprise.
