Join the TryEngineering STEM Community
The IEEE Pre-University STEM Community (PreU STEM) unites educators, volunteers, and STEM enthusiasts who are passionate about science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) at the pre-university level. Our global community provides you with access to a wealth of resources, networks, and expertise that will help you engage in STEM education.
Global Classroom Visits
IEEE TryEngineering Global Classroom Visits is bringing together today’s engineers and technical professionals with students and classrooms around the globe.
Make a Difference
We need a diverse STEM workforce and one of the best ways to foster this is to improve the diversity of the STEM pipeline. Opportunities for pre-university students to meet STEM professionals who are themselves from diverse backgrounds is critical.
Our Engineers
Meeting STEM professionals is vital but meeting a STEM professional who looks like them or comes from a similar background as them can be a game changer. The students can then “see themselves” as an engineer or technical professional increasing the likelihood that they would pursue a STEM career.
This is a free virtual event where STEM enthusiasts, pre-university educators, and volunteers come together to share and inspire each other with STEM opportunities, resources, and activities.
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! The STEM Summit brings together volunteers, educators and other STEM Enthusiast to share, their best practices and inspire each other’s outreach activities.
