The Youth Engaged in Technology (YET) Club is a program that uses technology as a tool to engage young people in learning and contributing.
Through YET involvement, youth will enhance their marketable job skills as well as develop leadership skills.  YET Club meetings are held twice a week after school. Tuesdays and Thursday from 3-5 in the Computer Lab-Room 165.

Club members also participate  in community service activities related to technology. This year the Club went to Drake's Personal Care Home and using club digital cameras they photographed the residents.  The photos were used by the Home for state records, to post by their names on their doors and the YET Club created a birthday/activity calendar that featured the resident's photos on their birth dates. The Club also instructed the residents how to use the wii console sponsored by Potter County Human Resources.  Residents played tennis, golf and bowling.    The kids also helped serve the resident's dinner.

 
 
 
 The major focus of the meetings are technologies such as:   
Web Page Design
 Digital Photography
Computer Game Design
Computer Animation
Robotics
GPS/GIS
 
 
 
 
 
 YET Club also goes on field trips periodically.  This year as well as several geocaching trips the kids went to the Corning Museum of Glass
