DESCRIPTION:IEEE WIE STAR 2026 is a school outreach initiative undertaken b
 y the IEEE Women in Engineering (WIE) Affinity Group\, BVIMR\, to promote 
 awareness of Artificial Intelligence and encourage young girls to explore 
 careers in STEM.\n\nThe session will engage students from Grade 8 onwards 
 through an introduction to AI\, its everyday applications\, benefits\, lim
 itations\, and responsible use. The interactive activity\, “AI: Helpful 
 or Hype?”\, will encourage students to critically evaluate real-world sc
 enarios through a two-team debate\, followed by myth-busting explanations 
 to clarify common misconceptions about AI.\n\nThe programme will also feat
 ure Tech Bingo\, a clue-based game designed to introduce students to techn
 ology-related terminology in an engaging and accessible manner. Through th
 ese activities\, the initiative aims to develop curiosity\, critical think
 ing\, and awareness of emerging technologies while inspiring young girls t
 o pursue opportunities in STEM.\n\nThe session will conclude with key take
 aways\, student interaction\, distribution of certificates and prizes\, an
 d a group photograph.\n\nAgenda: \n-\nWelcome and introduction to IEEE WIE
