Join us at our IEEE TryEngineering Educator Sessions this summer, where teachers will learn about the semiconductor industry!

IEEE Educational Activities is honored to be a part of the ON Semiconductor Foundation’s generous support of $2 million to fund global outreach programs. With this funding from the onsemi Giving Now program and in partnership with the IEEE Foundation, TryEngineering is hosting Educator Sessions across the globe with a goal of providing teachers with resources for their classrooms. During these sessions, teachers will receive the materials they need to bring these activities back to their classrooms, in order to inspire the next generation of engineers and technologists.

IEEE TryEngineering is thrilled to expand upon our work in 2024 to provide five Educator Sessions in the US, with more to come globally, including a session at Universiti Malaysia Perlis. According to the Semiconductor Industry Association, it is estimated that there will be a shortage of nearly 70,000 professionals in the semiconductor industry. The TryEngineering Educator Sessions are designed to support middle school teachers in introducing their students to the exciting semiconductor industry, where there are opportunities for technologists, engineers, and other careers, with various levels of schooling required.

In each of these Educator Sessions, teachers will learn about the semiconductor industry from experts and gain access to TryEngineering’s resources. All participating teachers will attend at no cost, and will receive materials to take back to their classrooms and conduct the hands-on activities with their students!
