Public Policy Research Lab

Social Sciences and Public Policy Research Lab

Several countries face humanitarian crises and burning issues like hunger, poverty, drug abuse, and mental health among others. DiscoverSTEM’s Social Sciences and Public Policy Research Lab allow children to understand the current challenges faced by communities and find innovative ways to resolve them.

Our young innovators research problems and brainstorm innovative solutions that can solve challenges. They understand the nuances of forming good public policy, plan its implementation and ensure that it is delivered effectively and seamlessly to the last person in the country. This lab has one special focus item – ‘The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals’ (UN-SDGs), and how they can be achieved through innovations in the next couple of years.

At our Social Sciences and Public Policy Research Lab, we provide our students:

• Domain-specific
training.

• Activities to understand
domain concepts.

• One large project at the end of the module.

• We leave our students by introducing them to some of the most pressing problems in the social science and public policy domain, encouraging them to find a solution later in their lives.

Our Domain Research Lab Curriculum is inspired by the curriculums of some of the best universities in the world. These labs are designed with these three outcomes in mind:

Introduce you to the basic and advanced topics of these domains through interesting and easy-to-understand modules.
Introduce you to some of the challenges in these domains and encourage you to brainstorm ways to solve them.
Enable you to find your passion early and empower you to make better and more informed career decisions later in your life.
