We also had the va luable collaboration of Tamia Zambrano\, who participated as our IEEE Day Ambassador\, promoting the celebration and encouraging students to live th e IEEE spirit throughout the event.\n\nWe gathered at 6:00 p.m. in a local venue full of energy and enthusiasm. As participants arrived\, they recei ved a special IEEE Day 2025 pin featuring an animal and a small card with an interactive game designed to help them meet new people.\n\nOnce everyon e was settled\, we formed groups of 6 to 7 participants to start a series of fun and dynamic games. The first games focused on breaking the ice and encouraging interaction among attendees from different majors and universi ties — one of the main goals of this event: to build new friendships and connections through IEEE.\n\nLater\, each group received a riddle and a c hallenge. The riddle was a short C++ code problem to be solved mentally. T he challenge was to build the tallest noodle tower capable of holding a ph one. The winning team received IEEE-branded prizes as a token of recogniti on for their creativity and teamwork.\n\nTo conclude the evening\, we shar ed a short talk about what IEEE is\, the benefits of joining\, and the act ivities and opportunities our Student Branches have developed. The objecti ve was to inspire more students to become part of this global community of innovation and collaboration.\n\nFinally\, everyone enjoyed a delicious b urger with fries\, and we ended the night with laughter\, new friends\, an d the true spirit of IEEE — celebrating technology\, diversity\, and con nection.\n\nAndalucía y Francisco Salazar\, Quito\, Pichincha\, Ecuador\, 170525 LOCATION:Andalucía y Francisco Salazar\, Quito\, Pichincha\, Ecuador\, 170 525 ORGANIZER:rama.ieee@epn.edu.ec SEQUENCE:48 SUMMARY:IEEE Day Celebration 2025 URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/508574 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p data-start="205" data-end="476">This year\ , we celebrated IEEE Day 2025 in collaboration between two Student Branche s &mdash\; Escuela Polit&eacute\;cnica Nacional (EPN) and Universidad Poli t&eacute\;cnica Salesiana (UPS) &mdash\; joining efforts to reach more stu dents and create stronger connections across universities.
