About Us

Mission

We foster educational outreach to pre-university students around the globe by supporting teachers and IEEE volunteers with the tools for engaging activities and measurable outcomes.

Why STEM Summit?

Let’s build our IEEE Pre-University STEM community by coming together and encouraging, supporting, and inspiring each other as we share and learn about all things STEM!

Core Values

  • Global Community Building
  • Service to Youth
  • Diversity and Inclusion
  • Excellence
  • Innovation and Discovery
  • Empowerment

A noble cause

School-aged children who pursue a career in engineering develop “Engineering Habits of Mind” and special soft skills such as resilience to failure, critical thinking and many more. Those habits of mind introduce them to a continuous self-improvement process that leads to a better version of themselves ensuring an enhanced quality of life for them, while at the same time, those soft skills make them essential to contemporary society and effective in shaping a brighter future for the world.

Do you share this noble cause?

Pre-University Education Coordination Committee (PECC) actively seeks out individuals and organizations who work with school-aged children and share this noble objective and provides them support to implement a variety of activities, inside and outside the classroom, as a means of engaging these young people into the world of engineering.

Why STEM Summit?

One of the best methods to achieve our objectives is to concentrate our efforts on developing a lively community of pre-university STEM enthusiasts, instructors, parents, and volunteers who can share ideas, and experiences, and develop an efficient pre-university STEM education.

Story About US

In order for students to thrive in this modern, information-driven, high-tech society and pursue STEM-related professions, IEEE recognizes the importance of helping them improve their STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) skills. Students’ interest in STEM careers can be ignited through exposure to new technologies and the way they operate. Through its pre-university educational activities, IEEE is committed to increasing interest in and knowledge of engineering, computer science, and technology by helping students identify the engineer or scientist hidden inside of them.

The IEEE Pre-University Education Coordination Committee works to support teachers, parents, and IEEE volunteers in giving young students life-changing experiences that motivate them to pursue a STEM career. We do this by developing innovative ways to show students aged 18 and younger the value of STEM-related professions.

One of the best methods to achieve our objectives is to concentrate our efforts on developing a lively community of pre-university STEM enthusiasts, instructors, parents, and volunteers who can share ideas, and experiences, and develop an efficient pre-university STEM education.

The first IEEE STEM Summit was organized in November 2021. It was held in a virtual format, where educators and volunteers could learn about and interact with STEM opportunities, resources, and activities. Participants had the chance to ask questions as award-winning educators and knowledgeable volunteers offered their experiences and practical advice on how to plan interesting and effective outreach activities.

Now, being in the fourth version of IEEE STEM Summit, we are happy to invite you all to this free and virtual event which will be held on 23-25 October 2024.

Call for presenters is now open!
