The workshops reached more than 900 students ag ed 10–15 years and involved over 30 teachers from participating institut ions. Led by experienced STEM trainers\, the sessions introduced students to a range of exciting technologies including electronic circuits\, roboti cs\, radar systems\, Internet of Things (IoT)\, and home automation.\n\nEa ch workshop concluded with the distribution of STEM workbooks to encourage continued learning\, creativity\, and exploration beyond the sessions. Th e initiative directly supports the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)\, particularly those related to quality education\, poverty e radication\, and reduction of inequalities.\n\nThe project not only empowe red underprivileged children with practical technological knowledge but al so highlighted their immense potential to contribute to the nation’s dev elopment. In the long term\, such initiatives aim to inspire these childre n to pursue careers in science and engineering\, fostering a generation of well-rounded\, socially aware\, and technically skilled citizens.\n\n[]\n \nSEECS\, NUST H-12 Campus\, Islamabad\, Islamabad Capital Territory\, Pak istan\, 44000 LOCATION:SEECS\, NUST H-12 Campus\, Islamabad\, Islamabad Capital Territory \, Pakistan\, 44000 ORGANIZER:nosherwan.shoaib@seecs.edu.pk SEQUENCE:13 SUMMARY:STEM Series for Underprivileged Children URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/510366 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p>The IEEE Islamabad Section\, in collaborat ion with the National University of Sciences and Technology (NUST)-SEECS I EEE student branch\, Islamabad\, launched an impactful initiative aimed at engaging underprivileged children in hands-on STEM (Science\, Technology\ , Engineering\, and Mathematics) education.</p>\n<p>Under this project\, m ultiple STEM workshops were successfully conducted across several schools and foundations supporting underprivileged children.
