Thank you to everyone who entered! The giveaway entry period has ended, but there are still ways to stay connected and bring hands-on engineering to your classroom.
Sign up to hear about future YES opportunities, educator resources, and upcoming giveaways. You can also explore our grant guide for ready-to-use language to help request funding for STEM materials.
Even if you have not been selected for this giveaway, there may be local funding opportunities that can help bring YES engineering materials to your classroom.
We created this grant application aid to make it easier for educators to apply for small classroom grants, community giving programs, or local STEM funding. It includes sample language you can adapt to describe your students’ needs, explain the value of hands-on engineering, and make a strong case for support.
Use this text as a starting point, then personalize it for your classroom, school, and community.
Thank you for participating.

We’re selecting 10 elementary classrooms to receive YES engineering materials and support for the upcoming school year.
Elementary teachers interested in exploring hands-on engineering learning for the first time this Fall. We especially encourage educators who are new to STEM or engineering instruction to apply.
No prior engineering experience is needed. YES materials are designed to help teachers feel prepared and supported as they bring engineering to life in the classroom.
Selected classrooms may be invited to share optional reflections, photos, or informal updates. No polished videos or formal reporting required—we’re interested in authentic classroom experiences.
Youth Engineering Solutions creates PreK–8 STEM curricula and professional learning that make engineering approachable for teachers and engaging for students.
Each YES unit includes:
Engineering Upcycled Toy Vehicles is part of the YES Enrichment program line. In this unit, students explore engineering by designing and building toy vehicles using upcycled materials. The program includes nine 45-minute lessons: five core lessons plus four optional extension lessons.
