The YSC would like to give a huge THANK YOU to this amazing group of seniors (plus a few more not pictured) for helping with our 8th grade transition to high school! These students led our 8th graders through the high school, introduced them to pathway teachers and core content teachers, and shared helpful tips and personal experiences about high school life. We hope this experience helped our incoming freshman class feel more excited and confident as they take this next step in their academic journey. Thank you again to our seniors for being such great role models!

🚀 From Earth to Mars! After a week of problem-solving, designing with criteria and constraints, and thinking like real engineers, my 6th graders brought their Mars colony visions to life. These models represent teamwork, creativity, and a deep dive into what it would really take to live on the Red Planet. I am so proud of how much they’ve grown this year—not just in science knowledge, but in perseverance, collaboration, and hands-on learning. I hope they always remember 6th grade science as a place where ideas were built, tested, and brought to life. 🛠️🪐 #STEM #PBL #FutureEngineers

On Thursday, our FRYSC–YSC had the honor of welcoming Miss Kentucky to speak with our high school students. She shared her inspiring story and reminded our students of the power of perseverance, purpose, and using your voice.

🚀 6th grade scientists are officially thinking like space engineers! This week we explored what makes life possible on Earth, the real challenges of surviving on Mars, and the problems future colonists would have to solve. Today, teams used a strategy board game to plan the engineering and mental health zones for their Mars colonies—carefully weighing criteria, constraints, risks, and creative solutions before they ever start building. Big thinking, problem solving, and collaboration as we design life on the Red Planet! 🔴🪐 #PBL #STEM #MarsColony #FutureEngineers
