STUDENT-LED AT ETHS · CONNECTED TO A MUCH BIGGER WORLD

Where students become leaders.

At ETHS, students learn engineering, teach what they know, serve their community, and discover that a skill learned after school can matter far beyond the clubroom.

HAPPENING NOW

The clubroom is becoming a doorway.

Students at ETHS are connecting to university instructors beyond Evanston while preparing to carry what they learn into the community themselves.

STUDENT MAKERS AT GEORGIA TECHCONFIRMED PARTNERSHIP
FUTURE ENGINEERSteaching into ETHS

Future engineers from Student Makers at Georgia Tech will teach STEM courses virtually into the ETHS YTC Clubroom this school year.

Student Makers at Georgia Tech is a registered student organization and a member of the YTC Global Alliance. Their student instructors extend YTC's peer-teaching model from a university campus directly into the high-school clubroom.

DISTRICT 65Foster School

ETHS students preparing to teach at Foster School.

YTC is developing a weekly after-school program at Foster School in partnership with the school and Camp Kuumba, targeted for the second semester. The proposed model combines in-person and virtual teaching: about 25% of sessions in person and 75% online. ETHS teaching teams would introduce younger students to robotics and to French and French culture, including Haiti. Club sponsor Marie-Edmonde Parisien would participate in the in-person teaching.

WHAT THE MODEL LOOKS LIKE

Knowledge changes hands.

01

Learn something real.

Technology is the medium: computers, fabrication, robotics, coding, troubleshooting.

02

Teach it forward.

Learning becomes responsibility when another person is waiting for you to explain what you know.

03

Become useful to someone else.

That is where technical confidence starts turning into leadership.

THE CLUB HAS GENERATIONS

“It's like the club has generations. Leaders change, but the idea stays.”

FROM EVANSTON OUTWARD

A local club with a long reach.

The same teaching model works close to home and across distance. The point is not a list of places. The point is what happens to an ETHS student when someone else is depending on what they know.

AT HOME

Students serve Evanston.

Community technology, younger-student teaching, Camp Kuumba, and the developing Foster School relationship turn the club outward.

BEYOND EVANSTON

Students enter a teaching network.

University partners, virtual teaching, and relationships across YTC's wider network show students that their skills can travel.
