HKN Chapters Inspiring
K-12 Students with STEM Programs
Throughout the 2021-2022 academic year, HKN
Chapters around the world spent time with children
(K-12), introducing them to the wonderful world of
STEM! Here is how they did it.
Before the coding workshop, the Chapter recruited
nearly 100 student volunteers to hand-stitch soft toys
to give to the children who would participate. The
young coders received the handmade toys and a
certificate at the completion of the workshop.
The Lambda Zeta Chapter at the University of
North Texas was also hard at work getting children
excited about engineering through its Future
Innovators Workshops.
The Chapter collaborated with the UNT IEEE Student
Branch, the IEEE UNT Signal Processing Society,
the IEEE UNT Robotics and Automation Society,
the IEEE UNT Computer Society, and the IEEE UNT
Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society to create
virtual workshops to teach K-12 students about
electricity, circuits, and microcontrollers.
The Chapter and its partners shipped electronics kits
to the students and walked them through completing
a hands-on project. They also shared resources
supporting future project ideas and exploration.

support Future Innovators!
Chapter President Jowaria Khan, presenting a certificate to a coder
The Lambda Lambda Chapter at American University
of Sharjah hosted the Toy Stories Workshop in March.
In collaboration with the Community Services and
Outreach Office at their university, Lambda Lambda
members developed this program for children from
The Big Heart Foundation, an organization that
provides services to people in need.
Using a fun interactive game, Chapter members
taught the basics of coding to 20 children from the
Foundation. Chapter President Jowaria Khan recalls,
" This STEM workshop had been a great success as
the children got introduced to computer science for
the first time in their lives and seemed to be quite
interested in the field by the end of the workshop. "
