Learn. Teach. Lead. Repeat.

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.

Different paths. The same starting point.

Former YTC students carry the clubroom with them — the habit of learning something, taking responsibility for it, and helping the next person.

What comes into the clubroom doesn’t stay there.

A university student teaches an ETHS student. An ETHS student turns around and teaches someone younger. Skills move. Confidence moves. Responsibility moves.

That handoff is the YTC model.

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.

COMING INTO THE CLUBROOM

Student Makers at Georgia Tech.

Future engineers teaching high-school students is one side of the handoff. Student Makers at Georgia Tech will teach STEM courses virtually into the ETHS YTC Clubroom this school year.

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.

YTC built the club. Evanston has kept it going. Students keep carrying it forward — into the community and into a wider teaching network.

AT HOME

Students serve Evanston.

Community technology, younger-student teaching, Camp Kuumba, and developing school relationships turn the club outward.

Community →
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.

SUPPORT THE CLUB

Evanston built this. Evanston keeps it moving.

Support puts tools on the bench, helps students teach in the community, and opens the next leadership experience.
