IEEE Educational Events

Yo Ingeniera, es un taller vivencial dirigido a estudiantes mujeres de secundaria en colegios de provincia, con el objetivo de acercarlas al mundo de la ingeniería a través de testimonios reales de ingenieras de distintas especialidades. Busca despertar vocaciones STEM en un contexto donde el acceso a este tipo de actividades es más limitado que en Lima.

Para lograr este impacto, las actividades se llevarán a cabo en instituciones educativas clave de Huamanga, incluyendo la Institución Educativa Emblemática “Nuestra Señora de Fátima”, la Institución Educativa “Nuestra Señora de las Mercedes”, el Colegio “María Auxiliadora”, la Institución Educativa “Guamán Poma de Ayala” y el Colegio de Alto Rendimiento (COAR) Ayacucho.

THE VOLATILES INVESTIGATING POLAR EXPLORATION ROVER (VIPER)
Discover how NASA’s VIPER rover will explore the lunar South Pole
LOCATION: CIVS Immersive Theater, Powers 123
 

A MISSION TO MAP LUNAR WATER ICE
VIPER is a NASA mission designed to explore the Moon’s extreme
polar environment in search of water ice. VIPER will land near at
“Mons Mouton” near the South Pole of the Moon and spend
approximately 100-days mapping and surveying four different “ice
stability regions”. This will help scientists better understand lunar
polar water and volatiles across the solar system. 
VIPER mission overview Rover design Lunar surface simulation Interactive mission operations

Terry Fong will present an overview of the VIPER mission, the
robot’s design, lunar surface simulation, and interactive mission
operations. During VIPER’s exploration of the Moon, the rover will
endure extreme temperature conditions (40K to 300K), dynamic lighting
and complex terrain, while near-real-time rover driving will present
new planetary mission operational challenges. VIPER is scheduled to
launch to the Moon in August 2027 on-board Blue Origin’s “New Glenn”
rocket and “Blue Moon Mark 1” (MK1) lunar lander.

“Tomorrow’s Innovators” is a grassroots IEEE WIE led outreach initiative bringing mentorship, practical STEM exposure, and career inspiration to approximately 300 young girls across three secondary schools in Benin City. Participating students will gain hands on experience through interactive competitions, engage with female innovators and industry professionals, and receive IEEE branded merchandise, certificates, and achievement awards that motivate continued pursuit of STEM careers. The program ensures all STEM courses and disciplines are evenly represented, exposing students to diverse pathways in engineering, computer science, mathematics, physics, and technology so they can discover their unique interests and strengths. Through this initiative, IEEE WIE establishes strong brand presence in Benin City’s educational community, positioning the organization as a trusted champion of girls’ STEM education among students, families, educators, and community leaders. This campaign creates a replicable outreach model while building IEEE WIE’s reputation as an action oriented advocate for closing the gender gap in STEM fields across Nigeria.
