WIE Science Quiz

#WIE #Science #Quiz #women #engineering #STEM #Discord #Quizizz.

Online quiz about women in engineering (Aerospace, Computer Science, Automotive, Mechanical, in Biotechnology, Electronic) to test how much participants knew about them. The questions were multiple choice and are based on facts about the women, photos, quotes, statistics, etc. This event was created for the International Day of Women in Engineering (June 23), in collaboration with ASME-USFQ, ASME-ESPE, IEEE-ESPE (and their WIE Affinity Group), and IEEE-USFQ.

People could participate in couples (it was checked that at least half of the paticipants were women). Initially, half of the couples answered the quiz in Category A, and then the other half answered the quiz with different questions in Category B. The three winner couples of each category went to semifinals, where they were tested with a more difficult quiz, and the three winners there went to finals to determine their positions. While Category A and B were competing, benefits about ASME and IEEE were presented to the teams that were not participating.

The online platform used was Discord. There, organizers and participants could communicate, the links to the quizzes were sent, information about IEEE and ASME was shared, and "separate rooms" were created for each couple so that they could communicate privately while one of them had the quiz open. The quizzes themselves were created in Quizizz. During the week prior, clues about the questions were posted on the social media of the groups, branches and chapters involved.

The 3 winner teams got an award, among which were IEEE/ASME memberships.

WIE-USFQ collaborated in the organization, investigation of information about women in engineering, content generation about the clues for social media, and presenting and entertaining during the event.
