The Women of the World Quiz Competition is organized for higher secondary students to celebrate the achievements and contributions of inspiring women from around the world. The competition aims to enhance students’ knowledge of notable women in fields such as science, technology, politics, literature, sports, social service, and the arts.
The event encourages critical thinking, healthy competition, and awareness of gender equality while inspiring students through the remarkable stories of women who have made a lasting impact on society. It also provides an engaging platform for students to learn, compete, and broaden their perspectives.
“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.

“InnovateHER” is a one-day interactive workshop targeted at school and pre-university girls. The program introduces the design thinking process—Empathize, Define, Ideate, Prototype, and Test—through real-life examples. Participants will identify community or campus problems and work in teams to create innovative solutions using simple prototyping tools. Expert mentors from IEEE WIE and IEEE Computer Society will guide them through startup basics, idea validation, pitching skills, and presentation of solutions. The session concludes with group presentations and recognition certificates.
Title: A Stellar Legacy: Women Who Have Redefined Space Science
Overview: Throughout history, women have expanded our understanding of the cosmos, often against the gravity of societal barriers and gender discrimination. This presentation celebrates their remarkable contributions and legacies as inspirations for future generations of women and minorities in science. From the early comet-hunting days of Caroline Herschel to the revolutionary astrophysical insights of Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin, these pioneers transformed our view of the universe and our place within it. The stories of these women reveal how perseverance, intellect, and vision can transcend discrimination, leaving us with an enduring reminder that reaching for the stars often begins with defying the limits placed upon us by society.
In honor of Native American Heritage Month, IEEE warmly invites all members to a special report-out showcasing the New Mexico Summer Camp funded by IEEE and PACE. Donna Fernandez and Harini Frederickson will open the session with an introduction to this impactful project.
You’ll also hear directly from the interns and Native American campers as they share their experiences, insights, and highlights from the program. Join us as we celebrate their voices, recognize their contributions, and reflect on the meaningful work made possible through this unique collaboration.
We look forward to celebrating with you!
This talk presents a comprehensive overview of research activities in RF and microwave engineering, spanning both academic and industrial domains. It begins with device-level investigations, including DC and RF characterization for model extraction, and progresses to circuit-level innovations such as stacked-cell power amplifier design. The presentation highlights a formative internship at the Huawei Research Center, where advanced technology evaluation and design methodologies were explored. It also summarizes key outcomes from master’s and doctoral research focused on efficient, wideband amplifier architectures. Emphasis is placed on measurement techniques, design strategies, and practical implementations that connect fundamental device physics to high-performance circuit design. Attendees will gain insights into the challenges and solutions in high-frequency electronics through the lens of hands-on experience and applied research.
This event is organized under IEEE Women in Engineering (WIE) to empower and encourage students and professionals in the field of technology. The program will include interactive sessions, expert talks, and hands-on activities to inspire participants toward innovation and leadership. It aims to provide a platform for knowledge sharing, skill development, and networking opportunities. Special emphasis will be placed on women’s contributions to engineering and technology. The event will also highlight real-world applications, career guidance, and mentorship opportunities. Participants will benefit from exposure to industry experts, innovative ideas, and collaborative projects. Overall, the event is designed to foster inclusivity, professional growth, and active engagement in the IEEE WIE community.
