About Us
The IEEE TryEngineering STEM Summit is a collaborative hub for global STEM educators and enthusiasts. This annual virtual event includes speakers, panel discussions, exhibitions, professional development, and networking opportunities. Register for the event and join our community as we explore all things STEM together.
School-aged children exploring engineering careers develop “Engineering Habits of Mind” and special soft skills such as resilience to failure, critical thinking, and many more. These are not just skills, but the building blocks of a better version of themselves, ensuring an enhanced quality of life for them. At the same time, these soft skills are not just essential to contemporary society, but they are the key to shaping a brighter future for the world. Imagine the impact we can make together. by working together to inspire the next generation of engineers.
TryEngineering (supported by the IEEE Pre-University Coordinating Committee) actively seeks out individuals and organizations that work with school-aged children and share this noble objective. It provides them with support to implement a variety of activities, inside and outside the classroom, to engage these young people in the world of engineering.
At the heart of the IEEE STEM Summit is a vibrant community of pre-university STEM teachers, enthusiasts, parents, and volunteers. This annual event is not just a platform for sharing ideas and experiences, but also serves as a touchpoint in our shared journey towards collectively developing inspiring pre-university STEM education. Your participation is not just crucial, but it’s what makes this community thrive.
Story About US
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.
