FULL STEAM AHEAD:
Congratulations to the 2022 YES Graduating Class Congratulations to the latest graduating class of the Youth Exploring Science (YES) Program. Teens in the YES Program explore areas like aerospace, agriscience, engineering, integrated health and medicine, cybersecurity and more. YES Teens also help spark our community’s interest in STEAM with outreach programs at the Science Center, through community partner organizations and at pop-up science events. Starting in their freshman year of high school, YES Teens meet regularly online and at the Taylor Community Science Resource Center over the course of the four-year program, developing the tools for a successful transition into higher education or careers in today’s STEAM-skilled workforce. YES Teens go on to become engineers, healthcare professionals, community leaders and much, much more. Meet some of our graduating YES Teens who are headed full STEAM ahead!
