Space Week 2026 and HidroChallenge Colombia 2026 are held jointly as a 5-day event at Universidad del Cauca, in celebration of IEEE Day. HidroChallenge Colombia is the first international water-rocket competition hosted at the university, co-organized with CDA and HidroChallenge IPN, bringing together teams from across Colombia and Ecuador for a week of technical exhibitions, conferences, and competition. Over these five days, the university community and the public will have access to talks by IEEE Distinguished Lecturers, hands-on technology workshops, exhibition stands featuring aerospace projects, oral presentations from competing teams to a panel of judges, and the culmination of the event with rocket launches across all competition categories, followed by the awards ceremony. This is a free, open event for students, IEEE members, researchers, and the general public. Speaker(s): Jesús Gonzales Llorente, Kumar Vijay Mishra Agenda: Day 1 (Oct 5) opens with a dedicated testing window, giving competing teams the opportunity to test their rockets on campus ahead of the competition. In the afternoon, the event officially kicks off with the opening ceremony, a welcome session for all participants, an introductory talk, and the first round of technology exhibition stands open to the university community. Day 2(Oct 6) is built around technical and educational content: a series of Distinguished Lecturer conferences, a hands-on technology workshop, activities in celebration of IEEE Day, and continued technology exhibition stands for attendees to explore. Day 3(Oct 7) marks the official start of HidroChallenge Colombia 2026, with competing teams delivering oral presentations of their rocket designs to the judging panel, alongside ongoing technology stands showcasing student and partner projects.

The Latin American Robotics Symposium (LARS) and the Latin American Robotics Competition (LARC) constitute the flagship IEEE Robotics and Automation Society event in Latin America, bringing together researchers, students, industry professionals, educators, and technology leaders from across the region to foster collaboration and advance the state of the art in robotics and automation. The conference serves as a premier forum for presenting original research, exchanging technical knowledge, and discussing emerging trends in robotics, artificial intelligence, autonomous systems, computer vision, control systems, human-robot interaction, machine learning for robotics, robot perception, navigation, manipulation, multi-robot systems, and other related areas. Accepted papers are presented through technical sessions, promoting scientific discussion and collaboration among participants from academia, industry, and research institutions. In addition to the scientific program, the event features keynote speeches delivered by internationally recognized experts, tutorials, workshops, panel discussions, and networking activities that encourage collaboration between universities, research centers, startups, and industrial partners. These activities provide attendees with opportunities to learn about cutting-edge technologies, establish new collaborations, and strengthen the robotics ecosystem throughout Latin America. A distinctive component of the event is the Latin American Robotics Competition (LARC), which complements the symposium by providing students with hands-on experience through a series of robotics challenges that promote innovation, teamwork, engineering design, and practical problem-solving. The competition attracts undergraduate and graduate teams from multiple countries and serves as an important platform for talent development and knowledge exchange.

WIE Engineering Experience: Connecting Engineering Fields is an integration event for students from different engineering programs at Universidad del Norte. It is designed as a dynamic space to share experiences, learn about the perspectives of other engineering fields, and strengthen connections among female students. The activity also features the participation of female professors from different areas of engineering, who accompany the activities and share their experiences and perspectives on their professional journeys in the field. The event is organized through different game and challenge stations related to engineering, combining entertainment, knowledge, and teamwork. One of the activities is ArcadeFem, a series of games inspired by women who have made history in engineering, where participants can learn about their contributions while completing different challenges. Among the games is “Guess Who? – WIE Version,” an adaptation of the well-known board game in which participants try to identify prominent women from different areas of engineering through questions about their work and contributions. A Twister activity is also included, providing a fun way to learn about women engineers while encouraging recreation and interaction. Overall, the event includes everyday games adapted to the context of engineering, such as trivia, knowledge challenges, speed-based activities, and challenges in which participants solve situations or answer questions creatively. These games also promote interaction, with activities designed so that students from different engineering programs can participate, get to know one another, and share experiences from their respective fields. The event also serves as a space to introduce WIE Uninorte, its objectives, activities, and opportunities for participation, encouraging new students to become involved and strengthening the chapter's presence within the university community.
