Young Tinker is a brand of Young Tinker Pvt. Ltd., founded by Revolutionary Educationists, Mr. Anil Pradhan and Ms. Vaishali Sharma. 

Curious how we started?

It all started with our idea of forming a network of school students who wish to become makers and innovators. This network of students helped  us understand the gap in education system and we started the infamous platform named Young Tinker. 

The platform was then designed to engage students virtually and create a student team from INDIA to compete with international teams at NASA Rover Challenge. We’re proud to share that our team secured World Rank 3 at NASA Human Exploration Rover Challenge 2021 hosted at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Centre, Alabama, USA. After this success, we’ve now started online hands-on courses for stduents from Grade 1 to 12.
