The Young Defence Scientists Programme


The Young Defence Scientists Programme (YDSP) is an initiative managed by the Defence Science and Technology Agency (DSTA) and its key partner, DSO National Laboratories (DSO), to promote greater interest in defence science and technology amongst students in both secondary schools and junior colleges.

Established in 1992, the YDSP provides the students with invaluable insights into the challenging work being done in the Defence Technology Community*, thus promoting the significance of defence science and technology.

To spur the interest of students from various age groups, DSTA together with DSO National Laboratories regularly organise a wide spectrum of activities and programmes for these students.

With the support of our research scientists and practising professionals in the programme, YDSP presents an exciting and wonderful educational opportunity and experience for the students.

* The Defence Technology Community encompasses DSTA, DSO, the logistics set-up of the Singapore Armed Forces, the technology component of MINDEF and Singapore Technologies Engineering.
