IEEE WIE National University of Science and Technology, Pakistan Navy Engineering College (NUST PNEC) Chapter has once again manifested its dedication towards its focal goal; empowering women and inspiring them to dauntlessly dive into the realms of engineering and other science fields, chiefly encouraging them to break gender stereotypes. For this noble objective, we collaborated with Women Engineers Pakistan (WEP) and conducted a STEM Outreach Program for female students of grades 7^th to 10^th where we introduced their young minds to STEM and different engineering fields to shine a ray at a wider arena of potential majors. The event was held on MS Teams on the 11^th of September 2021, with the strength of the audience being over 160 girls from all around Pakistan, all of whom were conveniently added to a WhatsApp group to address general queries and ensure smooth-running of the program.
