SUMMARY:Career-Connected Learning Training: Fostering Career Awareness in Upper Elementary
DESCRIPTION:Date: February 4\, 2026\, 3–4 p.m. ET / noon–1 p.m. PT\nFacilitator: Museum of Science\, Boston \nGrades 3-5 | Featuring YES Engineering Rescue Shuttles  \nSTEM Next is accelerating our efforts to advance career-connected learning in afterschool and summer learning programs with our Career-Connected Learning Framework for Out-of-School Time Providers. Discover how hands-on engineering supports career awareness for youth in grades 3–5. This webinar features the YES Engineering Rescue Shuttles unit and free career resources that help youth build awareness about the skills\, tools\, and decisions professionals make in disaster response and recovery careers—from aeronautical engineers to power plant operators. Educators will leave with free and practical resources for integrating career exploration into engineering activities. \nAttendees who complete the post-training survey will be entered into a raffle to receive a STEM kit for 20 youth.  \nAbout Youth Engineering Solutions \nYouth Engineering Solutions (YES) is the free\, high-quality\, standards-aligned pre-K–8 engineering and computer science curriculum from the Museum of Science‬. Three decades of research and development inform the YES model for engineering learning. Classroom-tested and proven effective\, YES empowers educators to inspire the next generation of problem solvers. By fostering creativity\, collaboration\, and a passion for STEM through hands-on learning\, YES helps students build the skills and confidence to shape their world—both in and beyond the classroom. Explore the YES curriculum.
