Young Eisner Scholars

Young Eisner Scholars Twelve years ago Eric Eisner began searching for gifted children in the poorest outreaches of Los Angeles.

The goal was to excity them about the world outside their windowless classrooms. Today, Harvard, Columbia, UCLA and the finest schools in Los Angeles are home to near 200 children, once lost in a system ill-equipped to recognize or inspire them.

YES LA middle and high school scholars took part in a hands-on rocketry launch with SCRA, launching rockets they built and prepped themselves 🚀
With guidance from our STEM Director and support from YES senior Roberto, students stepped into the field ready to put their work to the test. Nearly every rocket took flight, and even the challenges became part of the experience! Creating access to experiences like this is how we help level the playing field for students.
