YES Curricula for Grades K–8

YES curricula develop students’ problem-solving abilities. Students tackle real-world problems, scaffolded by 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.

ES Elementary and YES Middle School are designed to be integrated into school curricula, making them ideal for in-school settings. YES Enrichment can be used in any enrichment setting, including before-, during-, and afterschool programs such as STEM specials and electives, clubs, camps, and summer school.
