The IEEE WIE Tunisia Affinity Group took part to the Droidcon junior event as part of its STAR program (IEEE Student-Teacher and Research Engineer/Scientist program) on March 6, 2016. It was a 1-day workshop dedicated to college and high school students aged between 12 and 18 years to initiate them to Android. Droidcon junior aims to introduce mobile applications development and robotics to juniors supported by coaches. Such an event promotes involvement of IEEE members with local juniors and creates a technical support network for teachers and a mentoring program for students. It promotes to all students the endless possibilities that can result from considering engineering as a possible career option.
Through its participation to Droidcon junior, the IEEE WIE Tunisia AG aims to convey the message that math and science are fun, engineering has career options that benefit humanity and is gender neutral.
