Engaging Students in STEM with Historical Narratives
We invite you to attend a free webinar, Engaging Students in STEM through Historical Narratives: The Example of Drones, on October 15th from 4pm to 5pm ET. Drones have been in the news lately, from use in damage surveillance in the devastating hurricanes to cleaning garbage off Mount Everest. In this webinar we will focus on the IEEE REACH UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle or "drones") Inquiry Unit, which explains how drones had their origins in the military but have applications across society, and encourages students to use knowledge of the past and present to speculate on the future. By immersing students in the historical narrative, REACH encourages students to think critically about technology and examine its relationship to society, culture, economics, and politics. Like the other nine free REACH units, UAV (drones) includes an inquiry designed lesson plan, teacher background information, primary and secondary sources, engaging student videos, and a hands-on activity. Participants in the webinar will walk away with ideas and resources you can use immediately in the classroom, and will have an opportunity to ask questions of historian Dr. Michael Geselowitz, Senior Director of the IEEE History Center. Register for the webinar.

Unseen Signals traveling exhibit opening
National Museum of Industrial History 602 E 2nd St, Bethlehem, PA, United StatesThe Unseen Signals traveling exhibit celebrates the life of the unsung genius and IEEE Medal of Honor winner Edwin H. Armstrong by highlighting his technological innovations, patriotism, and the continuing relevance of his achievements. It delves into Armstrong’s intellectual and professional journey against a backdrop of progress in wireless communication. Beginning with an exploration of the humble origins of the radio era during the early 20th century, we invite visitors to immerse themselves in Armstrong’s university years, his military service during the First World War, his alliance with the Radio Corporation of America (RCA), and the rise of the radio broadcasting industry. The IEEE Global Museum presented by the IEEE History Center brings museum-quality traveling exhibits to IEEE members and the public to promote an understanding of electrotechnology and its impact on society. This exhibit will open on 2 November 2024 at the National Museum of Industrial History in Bethlehem, PA. View the flyer for the opening or view the Museum's main collections webpage.
