Inspiring the Next Generation: the ‘Young Minds Internship’ Initiative
As STEM educators, you played a pivotal role in shaping the future of young learners, igniting their curiosity, and equipping them with the skills to thrive in a rapidly evolving world. At Dassault Systèmes India, our colleagues recently had the privilege of hosting the third season of their Young Minds Internship program—a three-day experiential learning program designed to inspire creativity, foster curiosity, and introduce children to the endless possibilities of technology and innovation. The program offers valuable insights that can be applied in STEM classrooms to create more engaging and impactful learning experiences.
A Peek into the Young Minds Internship
The Young Minds Internship program was open to children aged 10 and above, providing them with a meaningful glimpse into the corporate world. This year, 59 bright and curious students participated, many of whom were experiencing their first exposure to technology-driven careers. The program was a blend of learning, fun, and self-discovery, with sessions led by Dassault Systèmes experts across various fields.
