Students serve the community.
Community technology, younger-student teaching, Camp Kuumba, and developing school relationships turn the club outward.
Evanston →Learn. Teach. Lead. Repeat.
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.


















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

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

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

That is where technical confidence starts turning into leadership.
COMING INTO THE CLUBROOM
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.

FROM EVANSTON OUTWARD
YTC built the club. Evanston has kept it going. Students keep it alive — in the community and across a wider teaching network.
Community technology, younger-student teaching, Camp Kuumba, and developing school relationships turn the club outward.
Evanston →University partners, virtual teaching, and relationships across YTC's wider network show students that their skills can travel.
Global →SUPPORT YTC EVANSTON
The work has always stretched farther than the budget behind it. Support helps cover the practical things that keep student-led learning moving: technology, instruction, program supplies and the next serious teaching opportunity.
