Greetings from The Association of Science Technology and Innovation (ASTI), Malaysia!
The Association of Science Technology and Innovation (ASTI) is an association of educators, scientists, industry representatives and individuals who are committed to advancing the role of the scientific community in inspiring the youth of the nation to join and excel in the world of science. The members aim to revolutionize the teaching, understanding, and awareness of the vital role science, technology and innovation play in fulfilling the economic, health and environmental requirements of the world’s population. Members are also seeking to mentor and encourage youth to seek new innovative methods and technologies that will enhance the understanding and learning of the sciences. ASTI also tries to use Science Technology and Innovation for the advancement of mankind and the protection of the environment.
We are pleased to inform you that ASTI is now inviting Universitas Gadjah Mada students to participate in one of its prestigious project called Young Inventors Challenge (YIC) 2020.
The challenge is team-based and the team members can be comprised of more than 1 school. The prestigious event is based on proposals received, and the shortlisted best proposals will be chosen by more than 100 expert judges. These teams will be invited to participate in the grand finale.
Young Inventors Challenge (YIC) requires teams of up to 3-5 members to put their minds together and come up with an invention. The purpose of the program is to build and encourage the creative and inventive capability of young people. ASTI started this program in 2013 as a pilot and the response has been remarkable ever since i.e. ASTI has been growing at almost 100percent year on year.
This year, YIC 2020 will be the 8th year and ASTI would like to expand the competition even wider to invite more teams from various countries. The theme for this year is “SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS (SDGs)” and the guideline could be found here.
