Project Symposium - IEEE Pandemic Challenge - August 14th 12:00 - 3:00pm

This event was recorded. The recording can be found at https://youtu.be/plG0-Xe8iuk.

Since early spring, the Richmond Section has been hosting a Pandemic Challenge where teams of high school students, university students, and bright early career professionals join with experienced professionals serving as mentors to solve pandemic-related problems. These problems have been brought to us by local businesses, government organizations, and independent individuals.

These teams of Challengers have been working hard on their problem solutions for as long as 6 months and we are now ready to showcase their work at a Project Symposium, to be held live at the VCU Engineering Research Building and remotely via Zoom.

We have taken steps to secure equipment and plan our virtual component so that it is both engaging and entertaining. Please feel free to join us at the VCU Engineering Research Building, or visit us via the Zoom Link in the Location information column below. If you are using Zoom, please sign on prior to 1:00pm for the presentations. Each team will have a separate table where they can showcase their work. Zoom attendees willl be able to "visit" each table by wandering freely between the breakout rooms on Zoom.

Due to the pandemic, any in-person attendees need to be fully vaccinated and wear a face mask. This includes minors.
