The 2026 YES! Explorers Challenge was an incredible day of exploration, discovery, and community! We welcomed 236 attendees for a morning filled with hands-on STEAM adventures, creative challenges, and unforgettable family fun.

 

Young explorers traveled through interactive activity stations designed to spark curiosity, encourage problem-solving, and inspire a lifelong love of science, technology, engineering, art, and math. Families worked together to complete challenges, discover new skills, and celebrate the joy of learning through play.

​

This event would not have been possible without the amazing support of our community. We were proud to partner with 5 outstanding community organizations, whose engaging activities helped create an exciting experience for every child. Behind the scenes, 42 dedicated volunteers generously gave their time and energy to ensure the event ran smoothly from start to finish.

​

We are also deeply grateful to our 20 event sponsors and 16 in-kind sponsors whose generosity made the YES! Explorers Challenge possible. Their investment in youth, education, and our community helped provide meaningful hands-on learning experiences while supporting YES!'s mission to inspire young minds through STEAM education.

​

Together, we celebrated curiosity, creativity, and the power of community. Thank you to everyone who attended, volunteered, partnered, and sponsored this special event. We can't wait to see you at the next YES! Explorers Challenge!
