Freshmen & Families - We just this week introduced & rolled out YouScience to all of the Class of 2028 in all of the Health classes. Ask your student to share details & espcially their results after they’ve completed the 11 “Brain Games” activities. They should be completed & have their results in about a week or so.

Sophomores - Seniors (Classes of 2025-2027) and Families DON’T forget that you all have had the opportunity to complete the YouScience “Brain Games” activities & all that’s available to you through your YouScience account & results once you’ve completed the 11 Brain Games activities in the “Aptitude & Career Discovery” section of the platform. Possibly you didn’t complete this in previous years, don’t fret - you can still login & complete by simply using the Google Login with Single Sign On feature. Just be sure that you’re logged in to your school Google account to use this feature. Once logged in you can still access your results if you’ve completed the 11 “Brain Games” activities or work to complete any of them that you haven’t via the “Aptitude & Career Discovery” section in order to then have access to your results & all of the resources. Your results & the resources can help you look at & consider Career Pathways, specific careers you may want to consider after High School based on your Aptitudes (again, another fancy way to say our natural strengths, talents & skills). Furthermore your results can help you prepare resumes, complete applications & even prepare for interviews since your results also give you words & short phrases to describe yourself - this is the “Discuss Together” icon/section near the bottom of your YouScience homepage once you have your results from completing the 11 activities. Again this platform is all about & for YOU, hence the name - YouScience! Scan the QR code above or use this hyperlink below to easily be able to login to access your account & results https://signin.youscience.com/ Simply click on the GOOGLE “Log in with Single Sign On” icon & it uses your school Google login credentials, again be sure you’re logged into your school Google acct.
