Great way to teach problem solving skills that can be valuable

 The SABES students recently watched the videos in their online after-school program conducted via Zoom, with Gregory sharing her screen. According to Gregory, the students thoroughly enjoyed the videos, and Chiu's submission in particular created a buzz among the program's female students, who were excited to see that the engineer in the video was a woman. To Erin Burk, who oversees SABES Afterschool as part of her duties as the Out-of-School-Time program manager for the Center for Educational Outreach, that enthusiasm is a "great example of how impactful mentors can be in this program."

what do computer engineers do, who is passionate about introducing the next generation of students to STEM, particularly young girls, found the experience very rewarding.

"It's important for engineers such as myself to inspire young students regardless of the global pandemic, but even more so now when the motivation to learn may be waning," Chiu said. "Being a woman in engineering, I hope to inspire the next generation of engineers, but I also want to encourage them to pursue their interests, even if that doesn't end up being in STEM. That is one of the great things about STEM: It's a great way to teach problem solving skills that can be valuable to a variety of different areas.
