Join us for an evening of recognition, mentorship, hands-on learning, and community connection at the next IEEE Pikes Peak Section STEAM-TEAMS Monthly Meeting. These meetings are in preparation for the 2026 Cool Science Carnival Day and Festival, Oct 3- Oct 18. Ideally, because of the 8000+ visitors and 100 booths at UCCS last year, we want to have 36 S.T.A.R. (STEAM-TEAMS Ambassadors for outREACH) volunteers/mentors to donate one-hour of their valuable time during this 6-hour event. This will allow time to have these volunteers visit the other booths with their families. If anyone would like to contribute in their talent in other ways such as digital marketing, AI-assisted multi-content for short 2-5 minute tutorials on technical topics, social media marketing, fashion, digital and social media marketing, and other logistical support, please let Dr Santiago know at [email protected]

This month’s meeting is a special opportunity to bring together IEEE members, student members, families, guests, and past and present volunteers for an evening of learning, recognition, and community connection.
We will be recognizing our 2025 STEAM-TEAMS participants with challenge coins as a small token of appreciation for the time, service, and encouragement they have given to others through STEM and STEAM outreach.
We will also share a brief AI-Assisted Multimedia, PhET simulations, Photonics/Microcontroller Demos as a fun introduction to these topics for the Sep-Cool Science Festival and Fair.
This gathering reflects something we deeply value in the IEEE Pikes Peak Section: building not only programs, but people. Through mentorship, hands-on learning, and community engagement, we continue working to make leadership more welcoming, more visible, and more meaningful for the next generation.
If you are interested in:
- STEM and STEAM activities
- mentoring students and young professionals
- family-friendly engineering outreach
- growing leadership through service and encouragement
we would be glad to have you join us.
