Purdue Engineering Outreach
Preferred Abbreviation: PEO
Fall 2022 Organization President: Hamza Kamel
Description: PEO aims to spread excitement and fervor for STEM fields through interactive events and activities to students both on and off campus. We partner with organizations, such as College Mentors for Kids, Girls Scouts, and local schools to bring engineering into the classroom to show the next generation that science, technology, engineering and math are not only incredibly important fields of study, but also interesting and fun ones! During weekly meetings, members develop and workshop activity ideas as well as create educational material for them. Each of these activities is created “from scratch” or a twist is added to classics.
