“Girls Make STEM with Heart”, the IEEE Buenaventura STEM event for middle-school girls, will be on Saturday, March 4 at Isbell Middle School in Santa Paula. If you were involved in previous events, you know what a wonderful experience it is for the students and volunteers. Here is some background:

∙ We have at least three mentors per workshop. Each student was able to get plenty of attention.
∙ At the end of the day, students got to show what they learned to their parents.
∙ Isbell Middle School graciously lets us use their classrooms and food service. Each classroom is equipped with a computer projector, movable tables and chairs, and Wi-Fi connectivity.
∙ Lunch and materials are provided by IEEE.
∙ See the IEEE Foundation Newsletter for an excellent write-up of a past event, and a photo montage on our YouTube channel.

Planning for this year’s event has already started. If you are interested in volunteering, please contact us at stem2023@ieee-bv.org
