Nova Scotia Youth Experiences in Science (NS YES!) is a group of parents, teachers, students, and professional scientists working to create enjoyable and educational science experiences for Nova Scotia youth.
NS YES! emerged from the belief that Nova Scotia must recognize that the scientists and entrepreneurs of tomorrow are in our classrooms today. These students will develop the businesses and industries that will provide stable employment for the future. Today, these students develop and showcase their talents, abilities, and creativity though activities such as science fairs, demonstrating the ability to take an idea from conception through to a successful conclusion.
NS YES! is a non-government, non-profit organization that is overseen by a volunteer board of directors. Our mission is to inspire young Nova Scotians to experience science in their lives, and to celebrate their discoveries.
A Message from NS YES! Executive Director, Cliff Coveyduc
At Nova Scotia Youth Experiences in Science (NS YES!), we believe that our province's future depends on innovation and entrepreneurship.
Nova Scotia is facing a critical shortage of persons with science and technology backgrounds as the population ages. Just as the need is increasing, enrollments in high school science courses are decreasing.
