CREATE AN ACCOUNTSIGN IN The InstituteCareersNews IEEE and Keysight Team Up to Teach Kids About Electronics Free lesson plans cover the basics of circuit design Robert Schneider 15 Aug 2024 2 min read a teacher and a couple of students in a learning situation with electronics and wiring and a box with a small screen and buttons Tom Werner/Getty Images IEEE TryEngineering has partnered with Keysight Technologies to develop lesson plans focused on electronics and power simulation. Keysight provides hardware, software, and services to a wide variety of industries, particularly in the area of electronic measurement. IEEE TryEngineering, an IEEE Educational Activities program, empowers educators to foster the next generation of technology innovators through free, online access to culturally relevant, developmentally appropriate, and educationally sound instructional resources for teachers and community volunteers. The lesson plans cover a variety of STEM topics, experience levels, and age ranges. Educators should be able to find an applicable topic for their students, regardless of their grade level or interests. Lesson plans on circuits There are already a number of lesson plans available through the Keysight partnership that introduce students to electrical concepts, with more being developed. The most popular one thus far is Series and Parallel Circuits, which has been viewed more than 100 times each month. Teams of pupils predict the difference between a parallel and serial circuit design by building examples using wires, light bulbs, and batteries. "TryEngineering is proud to be Keysight's partner in attaining the ambitious goal of bringing engineering lessons to 1 million students in 2024." --Debra Gulick The newest of the Keysight-sponsored lesson plans, Light Up Name Badge, teaches the basics of circuitry, such as the components of a circuit, series and parallel circuits, and electronic component symbols. Students can apply their newfound knowledge in a design challenge wherein they create a light-up badge with their name. Developing a workforce through STEM outreach "Keysight's commitment to workforce development through preuniversity STEM outreach makes it an ideal partner for IEEE TryEngineering," says Debra Gulick, director of student and academic education programs for IEEE Educational Activities. In addition, Keysight's corporate social responsibility vision to build a better planet by accelerating innovation to connect and secure the world while employing a global business framework of ethical, environmentally sustainable, and socially responsible operations makes it a suitable IEEE partner. "TryEngineering is proud to be Keysight's partner in attaining the ambitious goal of bringing engineering lessons to 1 million students in 2024," Gulick says. The IEEE STEM Summit, a three-day virtual event in October for IEEE volunteers and educators, is expected to include a session highlighting Keysight's lesson plans. Educators and volunteers engaged in outreach activities with students can learn more on the Keysight TryEngineering partnership page. The arrangement with Keysight was made possible with support from the IEEE Foundation.
