Our Impact
IEEE recognizes the critical need to highlight the impact of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) education programs in preparing students for success in today’s fast-paced, technology-driven world. As industries evolve and the demand for innovation grows, the benefits of STEM education become increasingly vital to building a skilled, adaptable, and forward-thinking workforce.
Through its TryEngineering.org initiative, IEEE is committed to expanding access to high-quality STEM learning experiences that inspire curiosity, foster creativity, and build essential problem-solving skills. These experiences are designed to engage students of all backgrounds and help them envision a future in engineering, computing, and technology, while also inspiring STEM innovation that drives progress across industries.
TryEngineering.org offers a wide range of resources, including lesson plans, hands-on activities, and real-world engineering insights that support both educators and students. These tools demonstrate the effectiveness of STEM outreach by helping learners gain confidence, develop critical thinking abilities, and explore meaningful career paths in STEM fields.Whether you’re a teacher, mentor, or parent, your involvement plays a key role in amplifying the impact of STEM education programs and empowering students to pursue their passions. Together, we can build a brighter future by supporting STEM learning, encouraging young minds to explore, create, and lead in a rapidly changing world where innovation and knowledge are more important than ever.
As we continue to invest in STEM education, we also invest in a more inclusive, diverse, and technologically advanced society. The ripple effect of these programs extends beyond the classroom, influencing communities, industries, the global economy for generations to come, and inspiring STEM innovation.

Our Impact Highlights
IEEE volunteers collectively report on the results of the STEM activities (through vTool Event reports) occurring throughout IEEE’s global communities. Volunteers self-report on the number of students, teachers, and volunteers involved in their events. These reports help demonstrate the impact of STEM education programs by highlighting how local efforts contribute to global STEM engagement. Collectively, IEEE volunteers inspire the next generation to pursue STEM fields.
