Welcome to the Young Engineers & Scientists (YES) Program Grades K-1

This is a no-cost online program that seeks to build capacity and STEM identity in K-1 students around exciting hands-on curricula grounded in community environmental issues. This program is sponsored by CSMP and brings together UCI faculty and students from the science and engineering departments, informal educators from local non-profit organizations, and teacher leaders to support STEM in elementary levels.

Este es un programa no tiene costo ya que busca construir capacidad e identidad STEM en los estudiantes de k-1 a través de un currículum con actividades interactivas acerca de los problemas ambientales en la comunidad. Este programa es patrocinado por CSMP y une a la facultad y estudiantes de UCI en los departamentos de ciencia e ingeniería, educadores informales de organizaciones locales no lucrativas, y profesores líderes que apoyan STEM al nivel de elementary.
