A student attaches an arduino to her shoe as part of a Women In Engineering Summer Program (WIESP) at the University of Illinois Chicago College of Engineering,
The Women in Engineering Summer Program was back in person this year, giving high school students the chance to learn about engineering through hands-on projects, like designing wearable technologies for shoes using the Arduino platform. Participants have the opportunity to work with world-renowned professors, meet engineering students, make new friends, and earn a stipend.
