The World Science Movement (WSM) was created to address educational inequality and prepare disadvantaged students for future jobs and global challenges. Twin, born from YGA’s field experience, empowers schools and educators with AI-powered STEM for Sustainability solutions, nurturing “double-winged” youth, combining competence and conscience for a sustainable future.
Key motivations include:
Tackling Learning Poverty: Many students lack foundational skills and access to quality education. WSM brings advanced STEM education and technology to underserved communities, ensuring no curious mind is left behind.
Bridging the Future Skills Gap: With many future jobs yet to exist, WSM equips students with future-ready skills in STEM, robotics, coding, and AI.
Empowering Educators: Traditional rote learning limits creativity and critical thinking. Twin provides comprehensive training and AI tools, reducing teacher workload and enabling engaging, effective teaching.
STEM for Sustainability: Integrating STEM with the UN SDGs, WSM inspires students to address real-world issues like climate change and inequality.
Nurturing Double-Winged Individuals: The vision is to develop youth who are both technically skilled and socially responsible, using their talents to benefit humanity and the planet.
In practice, the World Science Movement (WSM) innovation provides a hybrid learning model for schools and teachers, especially in underserved communities. It combines:
Physical Twin Science & Technology Education Sets: Schools receive 4-6 kits for shared use, enabling hands-on STEM and AI projects. Students use these to design and build prototypes for real-world problems like smart canes for the visually impaired or ocean cleaning robots.
Digital Platforms:
Educator Portal: Features an AI Assistant that helps teachers generate lesson plans, unit tests, visuals, and design experiments for all subjects, significantly reducing their workload. It also provides real-time AI-powered Skill Reports to track student progress, interests, and guide career paths.
Gamified Student App: Students use this app for interactive videos, games, challenges, and quizzes, making STEM and sustainability topics engaging and fun.
"STEM for Sustainability" Curriculum: The content is aligned with UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), inspiring students to use science and technology to create solutions for global issues.
Teacher Empowerment: Teachers receive up to 100 hours of annual professional development and can connect through a digital teacher community for peer support and rapid issue resolution. They often personally experience the activities beforehand to prepare for class.
The World Science Movement (WSM) is spreading through a hybrid learning model that combines AI-powered Twin STEM kits and digital platforms, reaching over 1.5 million students across many countries.
Its expansion is driven by:
Strategic Partnerships: Collaborations with major corporations like Google, Rolls-Royce, Intel and Boeing provide funding and reach, especially to underserved communities. Government ministries also act as impact partners.
Teacher Empowerment: Teachers receive extensive professional development (up to 100 hours annually) and leverage an AI Assistant in the Educator Portal to create lesson plans and manage student progress via AI-powered Skill Reports. A digital teacher community also facilitates support and knowledge sharing.
YGA Volunteers: Talented YGA high school and university students volunteer over 1,000 hours, leading science sessions and contributing to the digital STEM library. They act as "role models" in the field.
Hybrid Model & Curriculum: The program delivers physical STEM kits for hands-on projects and gamified student apps for interactive learning. Its "STEM for Sustainability" curriculum is aligned with UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and international curricula (IB, UK, US), making it adaptable and relevant globally.
Demonstrated Impact: Independent evaluations show significant positive effects on academic success, interest in STEM careers and development of a positive mindset.
The World Science Movement has evolved significantly through key modifications and additions, primarily focusing on:
Enhanced Tools and Technology: They've developed improved physical STEM kits with a sustainability focus and sophisticated digital platforms. These include a gamified student app with AI-powered skill reports and an AI Assistant for teachers to generate lesson plans, significantly reducing workload. There are also plans for VR integration and AI literacy lessons.
Expanded and Sustainability-Focused Curriculum: A major addition is the "STEM for Sustainability" curriculum, aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), expanding to cover KS1 through KS4. The goal is to become the largest digital education for sustainability library globally by 2030.
Enhanced Teacher Support: They provide comprehensive professional development and a robust digital teacher community where educators can connect, learn from peers, and receive rapid support, making them feel valued.
Strategic Growth and Impact: The movement has expanded its reach to 1.5 million children, with plans to impact 50 million children in 21 Commonwealth African countries. This growth is supported by strategic partnerships with major corporations, crucial for funding and reaching underserved communities. The core "double-winged" philosophy (STEM competence + conscience) is reinforced, underpinned by a volunteer-driven social impact model and a sustainable model.
For an organization to try the World Science Movement and its core innovation, Twin Science, the primary approach is through strategic partnership and collaboration. This model funnels AI-driven STEM education tools and associated teacher training/support to youth in underserved areas, aligning with CSR objectives.
Your organization could:
Become a Strategic Partner or Funder: Provide support, often financial sponsorship, to help deliver AI-powered Twin STEM kits and the digital learning platform to disadvantaged schools.
Support Direct Implementation: Facilitate the direct provision of Twin Science kits and digital platforms, including the Educator Portal with its AI Assistant for lesson planning and student reports, as well as professional development for teachers and access to a digital teacher community.
Indirectly Support: Purchase Twin products or subscriptions, as the business model supports the social impact mission of reaching more students.
