“Why Would Engineers Show Up at a Park on a Sunday?” Looking for 4-6 Volunteers
“Why Would Engineers Show Up at a Park on a Sunday?” Looking for 4-6 Volunteers 150 150 ieeeeduweek

Because five minutes with a curious kid could change a life—and the future of engineering.

Join IEEE Pikes Peak and the STEAM-TEAMS initiative for a high-impact outreach opportunity at the Filipino-American Independence Day Celebration on Sunday, June 15th, 2025, from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM at Fountain Creek Regional Park.

We’re looking for 4–6 IEEE volunteers to help lead hands-on STEM demos for K–12 students and families—from solar-powered salakots to rubber-band-powered jeepneys and glowing Philippine flag circuits.

This isn’t just a cultural festival. It’s a proving ground for:

  • Making engineering relevant and fun in underserved communities

  • Practicing engineering leadership through community impact

  • Inspiring the next generation of problem solvers—one curious question at a time

Whether you’re mentoring, managing, or measuring outcomes—this is a chance to engineer more than systems. It’s a chance to engineer trust.

WIE Winnipeg: Programming Workshop for High School Students
WIE Winnipeg: Programming Workshop for High School Students 150 150 ieeeeduweek

Learn the basics of computer programming with a fun, hands-on workshop designed for students with little or no programming experience!

In this free workshop we’ll build a simple retro computer game (think Pong!) using the Python programming language. The workshop will be held virtually over Google Meet. Our instructors will be female engineers and engineering students who program on a daily basis!

While everyone is welcome, priority registration will be given to female high school students – we have capacity for 25 participants. The only requirement for participants is access to a computer with internet.

Registration for this event has now reached capacity! If you are a teacher interested in a workshop for your class, or a student who would like to be notified about similar events in the future, please email Hannah at ieeewiews@gmail.com
