Engineering student recognized as IEEE STEM Champion

Mangaluru: Annapurna Shenoy, a third-year electronics and communication engineering student at Madhwa Vadiraja Institute of Technology and Management (SMVITM), Bantakal, Udupi, was recognised as an IEEE STEM Champion, a prestigious global title awarded by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE).

Out of 135 global applicants, 28 volunteers were selected for this honour. The IEEE STEM Champion Programme recognises individuals who have made significant contributions to pre-university STEM education through impactful outreach initiatives in their communities. These champions play a key role in promoting science, technology, engineering, and mathematics by engaging with schools, educators, and students to spark early interest in these fields.

As a champion, Shenoy will connect local learners with global resources, organise STEM outreach programmes, and inspire the next generation of innovators and problem-solvers.
