We are delighted with your interest in joining the IEEE MOVE Community Outreach initiative. The MOVE program is looking for qualified volunteers who not only have a deep passion for humanitarian work but also the expertise, wisdom and time to commit in support of the program. We are currently seeking candidates for leadership positions of committees and working groups for our global program expansion. Currently we are looking for volunteers in support of our programs in Puerto Rico. We realize that few people have the ability to extensively volunteer to a program such as ours. It is through the diverse efforts of committee members, each contribution their time and resources as they are able, in a combined effort that allows us to address the many programmatic needs. Information you provide will allow us to appreciate your talents and time so we can best engage you in the program. For more information, you can visit the (https://move.ieee.org/) webpage. Thank you! Co-sponsored by: IEEE MOVE Puerto Rico Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/407879

The International Day of Women and Girls in Science is celebrated to recognize the vital contributions of women in science and technology, and to promote equal opportunities in STEM fields. Despite progress over the years, women remain underrepresented in many scientific areas. This day inspires future generations and highlights the achievements of women scientists worldwide. To celebrate this special day, we will visit a local school in Mérida to engage students with a variety of interactive and hands-on science activities. The program is designed to spark curiosity, creativity, and a lifelong interest in science. Activities include: - Science Talks: Short, inspiring presentations introducing students to pioneering women scientists and their contributions to different fields. - Hands-on Workshops: Students will participate in fun experiments that demonstrate fundamental scientific concepts, encouraging exploration and critical thinking. - Build Your Own Spectroscope: A creative workshop where students assemble their own simple spectroscopes, learning about light, colors, and spectra. - Storytelling Sessions: Science-themed stories that connect imagination and scientific ideas, making learning both fun and memorable. - Science Magic Show: Visually stunning demonstrations such as “Elephant Toothpaste,” giant bubbles, fire experiments, and other interactive experiments that make science appear magical, while explaining the principles behind them. This event aims to inspire students, especially girls, to explore STEM subjects, appreciate the role of women in science, and experience the excitement and wonder of scientific discovery in an engaging and interactive environment.
