What is IYM Anytime?
About Us
The Innovative Young Minds (IYM) programme is designed to encourage young women to explore Science, Technology, Engineering, mathematics, and high-tech Manufacturing – fields we call the STEMM sector.
Our engaging and interactive online and residential programmes showcase the wide range of study, research and career opportunities available in STEMM. Our newest programme, IYM Anytime, gives on-demand access to our content, in the form of short lessons.
Participants will be exposed to eye-opening and inspiring science and technology content. They will also make lasting friendships with like-minded young women who share a passion for STEMM!
Our Residential and Online programmes are only open to young women because females are underrepresented in the STEMM sector and we want to change that. IYM Anytime is open to anyone. Our goal is to inspire a new generation of female innovators and industry leaders.

Alumnae Profiles
For me, taking part in IYM was an eye-opening and a wonderful experience. I grew up in a poorish area in the south of China and being the little innocent child I was, I didn’t know what sorts of careers were out there in the world apart from the main careers you hear about and see on TV shows and movies like doctors and lawyers.
Being surrounded by empowering, innovative young females who have a passion for STEM was such a blessing.The week-long programme made me experience a range of technologies through hands-on activities and analytic thinking.
Being a participant of the Innovative Young Minds 2017 programme and becoming a member of the IYM family is one of the most invaluable opportunities I have ever experienced.
