IEEE.TV will also stream the Keynote Talks live.\n\n IEEE ISEC is a unique program that bridges the gap between science\, techn ology\, engineering\, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines and engages stude nts in hands-on activities and projects rooted in the engineering and desi gn fields. By creating a platform that blends together different academic and professional backgrounds\, IEEE ISEC encourages students to explore cr eative and innovative ways to solve complex problems. Through activities l ike robotics\, coding\, 3D printing\, and design thinking\, students devel op the essential skills needed to face the challenges of the future. IEEE ISEC's on-site event will also provide students with the opportunity to ne twork with peers and industry experts\, broadening their horizons and fost ering their individual career paths.\n\nThe event includes 4 Keynote speak ers\, 68 poster presentations by K-12 students\, 6 workshops\, industry ex hibits\, as well as 45 full papers and 33 that are Work-In-Progress.\n\nOu r 1st Keynote will be "The Need for STEM Education and What You Can Do" by Joseph McGettigan\, the Director of the US Naval Academy STEM Center for Education and Outreach.\nAt the USNA STEM Center we execute various outrea ch programs for students from K-12 as well as their teachers in an effort to get more of today’s youth interested in pursuing engineering and scie nce degrees in college. It has been recognized for many years now that the re are not enough people with technical degrees to fill all of the positio ns that DoD has requiring those degrees.\nJoe McGettigan retired from acti ve duty in 2009 and has served as the Director of the US Naval Academy STE M Center for Education and Outreach since 2020.
