Briefings
The IEEE TryEngineering program, administered by IEEE Educational Activities, provides preuniversity educators with specialized training on AI and semiconductor technology. In 2026, 54 educators across the US attended sessions at facilities like the Florida Semiconductor Institute and SkyWater Technology. International sessions occurred in Egypt (GEMS International School, Cairo) and Guatemala. Each session involved hands-on projects, lesson plan reviews, and campus tours of semiconductor manufacturing facilities. The program supports university networks where host campuses facilitate learning for teachers and students.
Key points
- In 2026, 54 educators attended TryEngineering sessions across the United States, with international sessions held in Egypt and Guatemala.
- Sessions at the Florida Semiconductor Institute and SkyWater Technology involved 15 teachers and included tours of chip manufacturing facilities.
Context
