WIE Manga Stories Overview

IEEE WIE brings its readers, stories about Riko-chan, the girl who solves everyday issues through STEM. These stories are a result of the Manga Story contest organized by IEEE Women-in-Engineering (WIE) and IEEE Japan Council to bridge the gender gap in STEM. These Manga stories are available not only to the IEEE members but also to others and can be used as a tool to engage the younger generation in STEM activities, particularly girls, through IEEE WIE 1180+ Affinity Groups globally.
