The IEEE SIGHT Affinity Group organized a hands-on training programme on Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) for its student volunteers. The programme aimed to strengthen the participants’ practical knowledge, problem-solving abilities, and innovative thinking to address real-world humanitarian and societal challenges through technology.
The training introduced volunteers to the importance of STEM-based solutions in community development and encouraged them to explore low-cost, sustainable, and socially relevant innovations.
To develop practical STEM knowledge among IEEE SIGHT volunteers.
To enhance problem-solving, creativity, and design-thinking skills.
To encourage the development of low-cost technological solutions for societal needs.
To prepare volunteers for future humanitarian engineering and community-based projects.
