What we did and what we will do

The event we participated in was a productive day as we met at the WIE booth to talk to potential members while showcasing the importance and success of our own affinity group. We explained to the new members the activities of our WIE affinity group, called esprit, as well as the activities of IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) in general. During the event, we engaged with potential members by sharing our personal experiences and the impact that WIE has had on our careers. We emphasized the importance of diversity and inclusion in the field of engineering, and how WIE is working towards creating a more inclusive and welcoming environment for all individuals interested in the field. We also highlighted the benefits of being part of an affinity group, such as networking opportunities, skill-building workshops, and access to resources that can help members advance their careers in the field of engineering. Through these conversations, we were able to effectively communicate the value of being part of an affinity group and the impact it can have on one's career growth and personal development.

IEEE DAY 5 October 2022

As part of Pink October, our IEEE ESPRIT Women in Engineering affinity group collaborated with Associa Med to organize a stand aimed at raising awareness among young students about the importance of breast cancer screening. The event was a great success, and we were surrounded by amazing people who were passionate about the cause. The goal of the event was to encourage women to be screened for breast cancer once a year from a certain age, and we worked tirelessly to spread this message to as many people as possible. At the stand, we provided information and resources about breast cancer screening, and also shared our personal experiences and stories to help raise awareness about the importance of early detection. Throughout the event, we used all of our free time to achieve a good result, working tirelessly to connect with as many people as possible and spread the word about breast cancer screening. The event was a great success, and we were able to connect with many young students and encourage them to take their health seriously and get screened for breast cancer. Overall, the event was a great opportunity for our affinity group to work together towards an important cause, and to raise awareness about an important health issue. We are proud to have been a part of such a meaningful event, and we look forward to continuing our work to promote women's health and wellness in the future.

As part of our ongoing Star Program initiative, we recently had the opportunity to visit the "El Bared" school in Sokra to engage with the students on environmental awareness and conservation. Our session began with a brief but informative presentation on the negative impact of human activities on the environment and the importance of adopting sustainable practices. Afterwards, we rolled up our sleeves and got our hands dirty, as we joined the enthusiastic students in planting trees and other greenery on the school grounds. The kids were thrilled to get involved in the process, and we were delighted to see them learning valuable skills in the process. To wrap up the day, we held a Q&A session with the students, where they had the chance to ask us questions about our presentation and share their own thoughts on the environment. As a token of appreciation for their participation, we distributed small gifts to the students and also presented them with a prototype of a machine that can help reduce water wastage during irrigation.
