Our Crowdfunding Groups
Young Engineers Shape the World is program offered by Arizona State University’s Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering that takes place during out-of-school time. The program seeks to help high school students view engineering as a socially relevant profession. Through a variety of weekend events, participants spend time exploring individual fields of engineering through hands-on activities that are developed to help shape their engineering identity. Aimed at attracting female students in 10th-12th grade, YESW seeks to increase the representation of women in engineering fields.
Why engineering?
Engineers are creative problem solvers, but you might not realize just how much of an impact they have on the things you rely on every day.

Engineers help solve complex problems to help provide:
All Young Engineers Shape the World students will engage in Saturday sessions with one of our partner YESW educators and ASU engineering students. They will learn about how engineering impacts everyday life, what engineers do, the types of problems undergraduate students solve, various fields of engineering and the steps needed to pursue a career in engineering.
