Keep the kids entertained these school holidays with programs from Early Start and Science Space!

Researchers at Early Start are exploring use of digital technologies by children 3 to 5 years and their families during lock down.

2020 was an exercise in overcoming challenge, and building dynamic ways to support our community.

Celebrating International Women‘s Day Born in Chennai, India,  Anita Kumar was the first girl in her family to leave home at 17 to go and study engineering, not because she wanted to show she can do anything the boys could, but to delay time and experience the world before getting married, because that’s exactly what happened as soon as she finished.

Early Start is home to world leading researchers that are investigating real life challenges that have a transformational impact on the lives of children.
