Discover Engineering Days at UNL

Six 8th grade students were chosen from YMS to attend the College of Engineering: Discover Engineering Days at the University of Nebraska- Lincoln earlier this month. They were Matt Ackerman, Jalen Alexander, Will Bailey, Paige Cradick, Madi Smart and Sam Redfern. This event was hosted by the college’s student organization and was filled with hands-on activities that applied math, science and creative thinking skills. The purpose was to introduce middle school students to various fields in engineering and the different engineering programs offered at the University. Activities included a bone strength competition, cotton ball catapults, straw bridges and water filtration.

YPS is working hard to provide many meaningful opportunities for all students.
