e4usa at the IEEE ECCE Conference!
Nashville, TN
October 30-31, 2023
The IEEE Energy Conversion Congress and Expo is pleased to announce its inaugural high school outreach event! The IEEE ECCE is partnering with Engineering for US All (e4usa) to offer this event meant to demystify and democratize engineering. We will expose students from four middle Tennessee e4usa classes to the exciting field of energy conversion through an onsite engineering design challenge featuring kits designed by KidWind. The high school teachers and their students will engage with graduate students through student demonstrations and lunchtime conversations. As a part of this experience, the participating e4usa teachers will pilot test an alternate version of e4usa’s Unit 2 focusing on wind energy.
e4usa is also excited to host a booth in the exhibit hall for the remainder of the conference. We look forward to talking with many engineers and their companies and universities about how to partner with e4usa in the future.
The start of my e4usa class brought more student engagement. That is not the case as much in their normal classes.
