A total of 114 events were held, featuring 23 educational resources and 11 special offers. According to Timothy Kurzweg, IEEE Vice President of Educational Activities, the goal was to provide accessible tools for career growth and mentoring new engineers.
Experts from India, Nigeria, the U.S., and other countries participated in Education Week. The event’s official website attracted over 4,700 visitors, and 240 participants earned digital badges for completing educational assessments. To promote the initiative, 72 volunteer ambassadors shared information across their networks and social media.
