Young Engineers Association (YEA!)
Our Mission
The Young Engineers Association (YEA!) is a volunteer-run, 501(c)3 nonprofit organization created to support middle and high school students who display an interest in science and engineering. Our goal is to further student interest in STEM fields by providing an exciting, hands-on engineering experience that cannot be taught in a classroom. Students compete in a national robotics competition and participate in classes and other programs taught by mentors from the workforce. Through these programs, students work together as a team to design, build and code robots to perform specific tasks. In addition to being exposed to and learning technical skills that will provide them a foundation for advanced STEM based training, these programs teach students how to work as a cohesive team, and impart to them the values and ethics required to successfully develop and deploy complex technology based solutions.

Youth Protection Policy
As of May 1st, 2014, FIRST Robotics has implemented a Youth Protection Policy. Since this date, YEA and Team Komodo have adopted and are currently in compliance with this policy. The FIRST YPP program guide can be found at:
