IEEE WIE Tunisia Section AG is pleased to invite you to participate in the STAR PROGRAM 2024 that will be held on Tuesday, the 18h of December 2024, in Medina Congress Yasmine Hammamet during the 12th edition of the TSYP.
STAR PROGRAM Description:
The IEEE Student-Teacher and Research Engineer/Scientist (STAR) Program was developed to address the growing concern that, at a young age, girls are discouraged from careers in mathematics, science, and engineering.
SCOPE & TOPIC:
How can we inspire and motivate young students to develop a sustained interest in STEM fields, ensuring they see the value and potential of pursuing careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics? What strategies can be implemented to make STEM education more engaging, accessible, and relevant to their lives ?
Problem:
The IEEE Student-Teacher and Research Engineer/Scientist (STAR) Program was developed to address the growing concern that, at a young age, girls are discouraged from careers in mathematics, science, and engineering. This challenge promotes the involvement of IEEE members with local junior high and high schools to create a positive image of engineering careers. Through a one-to-one interaction between society volunteers and a Student-Teacher Team, STAR’s aim is to create a technical support network for teachers and a mentoring program for students after the event.
INSTRUCTIONS & DELIVERABLES:
Choosing two of those steps and proving them is necessary:
– Classroom Activities
– Humanitarian Projects involving the pre-university community Competitions
– Hands on Activities
– Training of pre-university teachers
– Mentoring
– Public Awareness Activities
– Field Trips
– Technical support networking
These steps are taken to encourage kids to pursue a career in STEM and what kind of support they provide for kids, teachers, local community after the event. What steps can we take to inspire kids to pursue STEM careers ?
