“Girls Make STEM with Heart”, the IEEE Buenaventura spring STEM event for middle-school girls, will be on Saturday, April 13 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:

• Students can choose from a variety of workshops covering topics such as chemistry, circuits, light, sound, solar energy, and numbers.
• We have at least three mentors per workshop. Each student was able to get plenty of attention.
• At the end of the day, students get 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 our YouTube channel for a photo montage.

Planning for the event is already underway. If you are interested in volunteering, please contact us at stem2024@ieee-bv.org
