Socially Engaged Engineering

To create more equitable societies, youth need to situate problems in their larger societal contexts. Part of creating competent problem solvers is educating them to reflect on the impacts of technologies.

YES materials have young learners:

  • situate problems in their community and societal context,
  • balance multiple perspectives,
  • and consider disproportionate impacts of problems and technologies.
