DESCRIPTION:Despite the significant contributions engineers make to Canadia
 n society\, their involvement in core policy discussions remains limited. 
 Recognizing this disconnect\, IEEE Canada is undertaking initiatives to br
 idge this gap. With over 70 student branches across the country\, IEEE Can
 ada is uniquely positioned to engage engineering students in policy discus
 sions and encourage the development of innovative solutions to emerging te
 chnological challenges.\n\nTo address these challenges\, we are launching 
 a pilot program titled “Policy and Tech Talk” (PTT). This program aims
  to engage engineering students in discussions about the intersection of t
 echnology and policy\, providing them with the knowledge and skills needed
  to contribute meaningfully to policy development in Canada.\n\nPhase 1: W
 riting Contest (November & December 2024)\n\nThe first phase of the progra
 m will focus on a writing contest during .\n\nPhase 2: Podcast Participati
 on with Policymakers (January & February 2025)\n\nThe top three to four es
 says from the contest will be selected\, and their authors will be invited
  to participate in a podcast with relevant policymakers to discuss their i
 deas. This will not only provide students with an opportunity to present t
 heir insights to influential figures but also bridge the gap between acade
 mic discourse and policy development.\n\nStay tuned for more updates !\n\n
