Introduce students to how computers gather and respond to real-world data. Engineering Vision Extenders: Light Sensors guides middle school learners through building a simple light sensor using micro:bits and MakeCode while comparing digital sensing to human senses.

Get your students coding in minutes, not weeks with Engineering Landing Pads: Delivery Notification Systems for middle school learners.

How can coding help students design a tool that supports healthier screen use? Arriving in 2026, our Electronic Timers module invites students to write a MakeCode program for a micro:bit to time how long someone stays in a slouched, screen-oriented posture and send reminders to adjust.

Kindergarten is where coding confidence begins. Students explore algorithms and problem-solving by guiding a robot through a park cleanup, adjusting their instructions and adding repeats to streamline the job. #Teaching #Kindergarten #EdTech #LessonPlans #Coding #TeachingResources

How do you turn computational thinking into real-world change? Launching in 2026, Timer Algorithms (Grades 6–8) invites students to design a digital timer that helps users avoid “text neck.” Sign up to be notified when the module becomes available: yes.mos.org/curricula/en...

Congratulations to Bradley Elementary School for winning the 2025 School on the Move prize! We loved seeing Youth Engineering Solutions (YES) lessons mentioned as a part of the work happening in classrooms.

Bring computational thinking to life in your classroom! In partnership with @mathworks.bsky.social, these beginner friendly MATLAB activities help students practice algorithmic thinking, problem-solving, and data science skills through interactive, in-browser experiences.

Teach your middle schoolers how to analyze telescope data the way exoplanet scientists do!

What can students learn from real disaster data? Launching in 2026, our Crowdsourced Disaster Data module uses MATLAB to let students explore and modify an algorithm that calculates earthquake intensity from citizen survey responses.

Looking for a hands-on way to introduce algorithms, inputs, and outputs? In our Signal Bracelets module, students use block coding (MakeCode) and micro:bits to build a simple wearable communication device.

Help students move beyond using tech to understanding how it works. With our User Reviews Analysis module, grades 6–8 explore how a computer sorts user reviews, examine which features influence its decisions, and adjust the model to improve its accuracy.

Ready to deepen your students’ understanding of how computational tools and experimental design need to work together?

Data visualizations can shape how students understand a problem. With the Heatwave Visualizations module, grades 6–8 explore heatwave trends, compare different ways to define a heatwave, and create their own visualizations using free MATLAB interactives.

As Computer Science Education Week kicks off, we’re digging into a topic that matters more than ever: AI literacy. #Teaching #STEMEducation #AI #ComputerScience

Build your students’ AI literacy with the YES Photo Classification module! Upper elementary students discover how computers spot patterns in training data through simple, engaging activities.

You can dip an egg in water and pull it out completely dry, thanks to cinnamon! 🥚✨🧪 Due to its coating in natural oils, cinnamon powder is hydrophobic and repels water on contact. That’s why you can press an egg into a bowl of cinnamon underwater and pull it out ... Watch the video here:

World Pollution Prevention Day is the perfect moment to explore sustainability through engineering and coding.

Join us on December 13 & 14 for Computer Science Education Weekend 2025, a two-day celebration of innovation, creativity, and code! Get tickets: bit.ly/4pQnven

On December 4, join our free educator webinar to discover how the YES Computer Science Framework helps students connect computational thinking with engineering design using tools like Google Teachable Machine and MATLAB. Register: www.eventbrite.com/e/exploring-...

Today’s students interact with technology constantly, so giving them the tools to question what’s happening behind the scenes matters more than ever. Helping learners move from simply using technology to truly understanding it is one of the most powerful shifts we can make in STEM education.
