Generation YES (Youth and Educators Succeeding), is a U.S. technology education corporation that works with schools around the world. Dennis Harper is the founder and President. Their programs focus on student centered, project-based learning "experiences that impact student's lives and increase student involvement in school and community through technology. In addition, all Generation YES programs improve the use of technology in the school as a whole."
Today, the company provides K-12 schools across the U.S. with technology programs. GenYES (originally known as www.GenY) has students assist teachers as they integrate technology in classrooms. This program provides curriculum to elementary and middle school teachers, who in turn teach technology skills to students. These students are then partnered with a different teacher to support their efforts to integrate technology in their classrooms.
TechYES focuses on students earning a certification by completing project-based learning activities demonstrating their technology literacy. In this program schools purchase access to a website with links and discussion forums for students. In the classroom students mentor other students, who are in turn illustrating their technology literacy through hands-on learning projects. Their student mentors help guide these projeccts.
Generation TECH engages students in providing technology support to schools. This program occupies the career technology end of GenYES' offerings, as teachers support students while they command a school's technology resources.
