Welcome to Young Engineers & Scientists (YES) Program
Grade 6
This is a no-cost online program that seeks to build capacity and STEM identity in grade 6 students around exciting hands-on curricula grounded in community environmental issues. This program is sponsored by the Crevier Family Foundation 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 middle school levels.
Calling Six graders who love science and engineering!
Enroll in this FREE online program to learn about coral bleaching and computer coding! Grade 6 students will learn to code by creating an animated story and game to spread awareness about this environmental issue. All students accepted into the program will receive materials to engage in this fun hands-on experience.
