Youth Engagement Through Engineering (YETE)
Canadian Not-For Profit Advancing Youth Education
Our mission is to simple. To advance youth education by fostering a self-guided constructivist approach to learning.
We develop and deliver Project-Based Learning (PBL) programs for schools, teachers, and universities. YETE facilitators have developed and taught programs at schools in the English Montreal School Board (EMSB) and the Mohawk Kahnawake Education Centre (KEC). Our team has also provided pro bono consulting services for the McGill Engineering Department and the McGill Administration and Enrolment Services to develop culturally relevant education programs for indigenous high school students.

Approach
YETE's approach to project-based learning is rooted in the methodology of the Engineering Design-Cycle. This approach imposes a structured and systematic approach to problem-solving that embraces failure and directly lends itself to interdisciplinary learning. In this process, we try to make learning both physically engaging and culturally relevant.
History
Youth Engagement Through Engineering (YETE) is an incorporated Canadian not-for-profit organization that was a part of Engineers Without Border Canada, and graduated as an independent venture in the year 2020. During the organization’s tenure under the Engineers Without Borders, we developed and taught semester-long in-class programs at 5 different schools in the English Montreal School Board (EMSB), as well as at a school in the Mohawk Kahnawake Education Centre (KEC). Since graduating from Engineers Without Borders as an independent venture, YETE hosted its first online after-school program in the Winter 2021 semester at FACE Elementary and Secondary School.
