Youth Engineering Solutions is educating the next generation of problem solvers and engineers by creating resources that engage all students in authentic engineering challenges connected to their lives and communities. Watch this recorded workshop to learn about YES resources that are were designed and piloted for afterschool programs. Katie Bateman from the Museum of Science Boston introduces the YES framework for equity-oriented engineering learning and how it can be applied to afterschool engineering activities. Real video from afterschool programs will illustrate the principles in action.
Watch this recorded conversation from April 2024 between Becky Swanson from Click2Engineering and the YES team, Katie Bateman and Christine Cunningham. Youth Engineering Solutions can be downloaded for free for out-of-school time programs. Learn how these resources can enhance your time programming.
This recording will help you and your team:
- Experience two of the YES engineering units – Engineering Rescue Shuttles and Engineering Sock Assistive Devices.
- Understand how your program can help youth develop an engineering mindset through hands-on learning.
- Be prepared to create authentic engineering experiences that motivate and engage youth in developing an engineering mindset.
