Develop students’ problem-solving abilities and help them see how engineering affects their lives. Youth Engineering Solutions units encourage students to address real-world problems, scaffolded through an age-appropriate engineering design process. Challenges channel students’ creativity and engage them in engineering and science practices. As they engineer, students use science and computer science concepts and tools, thus deepening their understanding of these disciplines.

Each YES unit consists of eight to ten 45-minute lessons. A suite of resources, including a Teacher Guide, student Engineering Notebooks, Family Resources, and Assessment Tools support the unit.
