STAR PROGRAM
Ignite your curiosity.
The IEEE Student-Teacher and Research Engineer/Scientist (STAR) Program was developed to address the growing concern that, at a young age, girls are discouraged from STEM careers. The IEEE WIE UPRM Student Branch have a commitment to encourage girls and anyone in Puerto Rico to pursue careers in
STEM for the work field to become more diverse and inclusive.
The STAR Program consists of pre-university outreach activities, our student branch organizes two mass activities per year: UPRM Engineering Department Seminars and UPRM Engineering DepartmentWorkshops.
Community Service
Our student branch is fully compromised with our community, which is why we organize events to foment our members’ sense of community and empathy. Some of the activities we coordinate to provide this community support are beach clean-ups, breakfast for people in need, food drives, fundraising for humanitarian relief, and Relay for Life.
