We foster educational outreach to school-aged students around the globe by supporting teachers and IEEE volunteers with the tools for engaging activities and measurable outcomes.
This multi-day free virtual event explores new ways to spark school-aged children’s interest in STEM!
For students to thrive in our information-driven, high-tech society 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 how 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, a dedicated team of professionals, works to support teachers, parents, and IEEE volunteers in providing school-aged students, , with life-changing experiences that inspire them to pursue a career as an engineer or technical professional. Our innovative approaches aim to demonstrate the immense value of STEM-related professions.
One of the best methods to achieve our objectives is to develop a lively community of pre-university STEM educators (or teachers) enthusiasts, parents, and volunteers who can share ideas and experiences, and develop an efficient pre-university STEM education.
The inaugural IEEE STEM Summit, a groundbreaking event, took place in November 2021. It was a virtual gathering that brought together educators and volunteers to explore a world of STEM opportunities, resources, and activities. Participants were able to engage with award-winning educators and experienced volunteers, who shared valuable insights and practical advice on how to design and deliver captivating and impactful STEM outreach activities.
Now, being in the fourth year of the IEEE TryEngineering STEM Summit, we are happy to invite you all to this free and virtual event, which will be held on 23-25 October 2024. The Summit will feature special speakers, panel discussions with industry leaders, and presentations on cutting-edge STEM topics.
