IEEE WIE STAR 2026: Artificial Intelligence in Action – Shaping Young Innovators for Tomorrow
IEEE Women in Engineering (WIE) Affinity Group, BVIMR, presents a school outreach initiative under IEEE WIE STAR 2026, aimed at introducing school students to Artificial Intelligence and encouraging young girls to explore opportunities in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM).
IEEE WIE STAR 2026 is a school outreach initiative undertaken by the IEEE Women in Engineering (WIE) Affinity Group, BVIMR, to promote awareness of Artificial Intelligence and encourage young girls to explore careers in STEM.
The session will engage students from Grade 8 onwards through an introduction to AI, its everyday applications, benefits, limitations, and responsible use. The interactive activity, “AI: Helpful or Hype?”, will encourage students to critically evaluate real-world scenarios through a two-team debate, followed by myth-busting explanations to clarify common misconceptions about AI.
The programme will also feature Tech Bingo, a clue-based game designed to introduce students to technology-related terminology in an engaging and accessible manner. Through these activities, the initiative aims to develop curiosity, critical thinking, and awareness of emerging technologies while inspiring young girls to pursue opportunities in STEM.
The session will conclude with key takeaways, student interaction, distribution of certificates and prizes, and a group photograph.
