Yeet the Yo is the embodied performance arm of the EmberWood curriculum, where science, art, history, and social-emotional learning converge through motion, rhythm, and skill.
The yo-yo becomes a physical metaphor for the core EmberWood truth: Joy takes Effort, Openness, and You.
Through live performance, students experience physics in their bodies, regulation in their breath, contribution in their teaching, and belonging in shared play.
Yeet the Yo + EmberWood is a live, embodied STEAM + SEL performance experience, in-person engagement and curriculum that integrates:
- Physics
- Motion
- Music
- Cultural history
- Emotional regulation
- Belonging
- Identity
- Purpose through skill
Most assemblies entertain. Most curricula explain.
Yeet the Yo × EmberWood does both!
- Embodied physics learning (NGSS-aligned)
- Real-time emotional regulation in motion
- Neurodivergent-affirming repetitive skill practice
- Identity & confidence through visible mastery
- Anti-technoference re-engagement with hands-on focus
- Cross-generational play and connection
- Joy as a learnable, trainable state
This program and presenter are unique, engaging, meaningful, and impactful and leave a lasting impact on young learners.
