Who We Are
TryEngineering, the host of the IEEE STEM Summit, provides opportunities and resources for adults working with school-aged children to develop and engage in quality STEM outreach activities locally. This helps IEEE reach its goal of impacting as many school-aged children as possible worldwide.
What We Do
This free, two-day virtual event is designed to support pre-university STEM education for school-aged children, serving as a platform for volunteers, educators, and parents to share experiences and collaborate on outreach initiatives.
Why STEM Summit?
Join us to explore new ways to spark school-aged children’s interest in STEM! Learn and engage with other members of our community as we discuss all things STEM education!
