• IEEE TryEngineering is celebrating 20 years of empowering educators with resources that introduce engineering to students at an early age. • Launched in 2006 as a collaboration between IEEE, IBM, and the New York Hall of Science (NYSCI), TryEngineering began with a clear goal: Make engineering accessible, understandable, and engaging for students and the teachers who support them. • What started as an idea within IEEE Educational Activities has grown into a global platform supporting preuniversity engineering education around the world. • Concerns about the future In the early 2000s, engineering was largely absent from preuniversity education, typically being taught only in small, isolated programs. • Most students had little exposure to the many types of engineering, and they did not learn what engineers actually do. • At the same time, industry and academic leaders were increasingly concerned about the future of engineering as a whole.
