7. STEM Outreach

8. IEEE Central Texas Section What have I learned? There are many activities and programs to encourage K-12 STEM education. Many of these programs are adequately funded. Most of the adult participants are educators. We are not a profit making organization. We are a people organization. These organizations need engineering and science mentors and volunteers. The best way for us to help is to volunteer.

9. IEEE Central Texas Section Problems Encountered and Solutions Problem I am overwhelmed with the number of STEM activities. We need to focus. What do we want to do as a section? Solution I would like to form a committee to focus on the K-12 activities that our section wants to be involved in as a section. Meeting will be in February. The location will depend on the response.
