A Path for Women in STEM

The WIE Chapter of the IEEE Student Branch at Universidad del Norte will organize an outreach activity in local all-girls high schools during this semester. The initiative is designed to motivate students from grades 10 and 11 to explore the opportunities of pursuing a career in STEM. The program will include a mini programming workshop introducing basic algorithms in an interactive format. Participants will also engage in a hands-on Arduino activity to experience the application of electronics and creativity. Additionally, a team challenge will be held where students build the tallest tower using skewers and modeling clay, promoting collaboration and problem-solving skills. Another activity will feature the “Electronic Heart” project, showcasing how circuits and LEDs can create engaging and inspiring results. These activities aim to spark curiosity, strengthen teamwork, and highlight the relevance of STEM in everyday life. Through this initiative, the WIE Chapter seeks to encourage young women to envision themselves as future engineers and innovators. Calle 30 #30-30, Calle 73B#39-41, Soledad, Atlantico, Colombia
