Engineers and Scientists Sought for K-12 STEM

The Knoxville Chamber, Knox County Schools, and the Knoxville chapter of the Tennessee Society of Professional Engineers have started a website called Vols4STEM to act as a clearinghouse to link science and engineering professionals with students and educators. The Knoxville Chamber has requested that local technical society members show their interest in K-12 STEM outreach activities by completing their survey. If you complete the survey please enter IEEE in box 1. You can read more about the clearinghouse project in this Knoxville News Sentinel article.

This effort has prompted the IEEE East Tennessee Section to consider what programs we could offer for the Knox County Schools. If you would be interested in helping with this effort, please complete this questionnaire.
