We need a diverse STEM workforce and one of the best ways to foster this is to improve the diversity of the STEM pipeline at the pre-university level. The more opportunities pre-university students have to engage with engineers the more likely they are to pursue a STEM career.

All STEM professionals participating in the platform will be vetted: (1) video audition; (2) IEEE Working with Children training; and (3) Pre-university training courses as a minimum qualification to speak to the students.
Complete this feedback form.
In regard to types of sessions, it can be a Q&A model where the students ask questions or a presentation from the engineer on their expertise or career path, technical problem solving, etc.
We recommend you communicate with the platform to find a day and time that works for everyone.
We consider engineers and all technical professionals as “STEM professionals”.
