“Girls Make STEM with Heart”, the IEEE Buenaventura spring STEM event for middle-school girls, will be on Saturday, April 25 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 and how rewarding.

Here is some background:

• Students can choose from a variety of workshops covering topics such as chemistry, circuits, light, sound, momentum, 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 stem2026@ieee-bv.org
