“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.
