In line with the IEEE Women in Engineering mission, the IEEE WIE in South Africa runs the STAR program in schools from previously disadvantaged backgrounds in Gauteng. The Student Teacher and Research Scientist/Engineer (STAR) program is a project that aims to encourage learners, especially females, to consider pursuing engineering and science professions. This is one of many workshops that will be organised by IEEE WIE South Africa. WiE South Africa will also be hosting an international TechWomen delegation of professional females within STEM fields as part of the STAR event.
