What a fun morning! YES leaders Christine and DIpa using puppets to talk about engineering with young learners at this morning's Massachusetts STEM Week kickoff here at the Museum of Science. 💜

Lieutenant Governor Kim Driscoll and Massachusetts Education Secretary Steve Zrike joined us here at the Museum of Science to kick off STEM Week, along with students who got to meet some of the Museum's newest robots and try their hands at YES Engineering challenges in the new Bloomberg Public Science Common.

YES curriculum developers take their work seriously. Hundreds of hours of research, testing, and careful thought go into finding just the right materials for each engineering challenge.

Pom-poms? Sugar sprinkles? Something else entirely?

Join us this week for a behind-the-scenes look at how our team creates new engineering experiences for young learners, using our upcoming Engineering Drums unit as an example.

We asked the YES Middle School curriculum team to tell us which unit is secretly their favorite. It wasn’t a competition, but there was a clear winner! 👟

Which one would you pick? (There’s still time to enter our Pick-a-Unit giveaway!)

Free this afternoon? Come engineer with us! 👋
At 4 PM ET, join the YES team for a free, hands-on introduction to the Massachusetts STEM Week Engineering Careers Exploration activity.
You’ll try the engineering challenge yourself, explore ready-to-use classroom resources, and see how the activity helps students connect the problems they can solve today with the engineering careers they might pursue tomorrow.
📅 TODAY | 4–5 PM ET

Teachers often ask us: where did Engineering is Elementary go? How are YES units different? Join us for a free webinar about the evolution of our curriculum and engineering education. This Thursday night, Sept 24 at 7:00 ET

Save your spot → https://hubs.ly/Q04y9HtH0

We’ll share what we’ve learned over 20+ years, what’s changed, what has held steady, and what that evolution means for educators today.

You'll see updated curriculum and supports, new resources, and how a popular EiE unit, The Best of Bugs: Designing Hand Pollinators has evolved into the YES unit Engineering Pumpkin Pollinators.
