Youth Engineering Solutions (YES) and Engineering for US All (e4usa) together provide districts with a coherent pathway that introduces engineering early and builds deeper design and problem-solving skills through high school.
The YES + e4usa pathway provides a seamless approach to expanding engineering education.
Districts can:
Together, these programs provide research-based curriculum, teacher support, and scalable implementation strategies that allow schools to introduce authentic engineering learning across grade levels.
YES introduces engineering in preschool, elementary, and middle school classrooms and enrichment environments through engaging, standards-connected curricula.
Students:
YES programs are designed to integrate into classrooms while supporting teachers with curriculum resources and professional learning.
e4usa offers four full-year high school courses—Design, Making, Programming, and Legacy—that introduce students to engineering through hands-on design challenges and real-world problem solving.
Students:
Teachers are supported through high-quality instructional materials, professional development, and an ongoing community of educators through the e4usa Hub.
YES and e4usa share a common approach to engineering education.
Students encounter engineering ideas early and build increasingly sophisticated knowledge and skills as they progress through school. By high school, students are prepared to apply engineering design to complex challenges and to explore pathways into careers in engineering, technology, and innovation.
Both programs:
Together, the programs allow districts to scale engineering learning from early childhood to graduation.
A coordinated engineering pathway helps schools:
Engineering education is not only about preparing future engineers but also about equipping students with the skills to solve complex problems in any field.
