DESCRIPTION:[]	We would like to extend our sincere gratitude to the Institu
 te of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Antennas and Propagation Societ
 y (AP-S) Committee on Promoting Equality (COPE) for generously sponsoring 
 this pre-university activity. Your invaluable support will allow us to pro
 vide these young women with engaging\, hands-on exposure to STEM fields\, 
 helping to ignite their curiosity and empowering them to explore future op
 portunities in engineering and technology. We deeply appreciate your ongoi
 ng commitment to fostering inclusive educational experiences and championi

 p\n\nThe &quot;Oh Snap - Explore your STEM Dream&quot; workshop establishes a collab
 orative bridge between IEEE North Jersey Section\, IEEE Women in Engineeri
 ng (WIE)\, IEEE Young Professionals (YP)\, local IEEE Student Branches/Cha
 p-ters\, and the Girl Scouts of Northern New Jersey (GSNNJ). Grounded in t
 he imperative to broaden K-12 STEM participation and empower future genera
 tions of in technical fields\, this session operationalizes a community pa
 rt-nership by introducing permanent hands-on engineering equipment to the 
 GSNNJ Paramus &quot;DreamLab.&quot;\n\nScheduled as a 90-minute half-day event from 
 11:00 AM to 1:30 PM\, the workshop is divided into two focused phases:\n\n
 1. Official Collaboration Launch &amp; Handover Ceremony (11:00 AM – 11:30 P
 M): A formal unveiling of the newly funded Snap Circuit hardware kits\, sp
 onsored through IEEE Section and grant initiatives\, which will find a per
 manent home at the DreamLab facility. Featuring remarks from leadership ac
 ross IEEE North Jersey\, WIE\, YP\, and Sandra Kenoff (President &amp; CEO of 
 GSNNJ)\, this segment highlights the strategic impact of corporate\, acade
 mic\, and non-profit alignment in early STEM access.\n\n2. Train-the-Train
 er Workshop (11:30 AM – 12:30 PM): An interactive\, hands-on instruction
 al lab designed to prepare Girl Scout troop leaders and IEEE volunteers to
  deploy hardware curriculum confidently. Utilizing Green Snap Circuit sets
 \, attendees will work directly with the equipment\, practicing circuit co
 ncepts and reviewing modular lesson plans designed for a class size of 20-
 30 scouts. This session serves as direct preparation for upcoming outreach
  initiatives\, including Engineers Week 2027.\n\n3. Lunch (12:30 PM – 1:
 30 PM): For registered attendees\, lunch will be included as part of your 
 registration fee. Registration fee is $15 USD\n\nMontclair University\, Mo
