Abstract
Reports on initiatives by the IEEE to provide wireless communications and access to the Internet for educational purposes. As the world’s largest technical professional organization dedicated to advancing technology for the benefit of humanity, the IEEE has long been actively involved in outreach activities that bridge the digital divide. We, the members of the IEEE Antennas a n d Propagation Society (APS) and IEEE Microwave Theory and Technique s Society (MTT-S) Joint Student Branch Chapter (SBC) of the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Kharagpur (AP-MTT-SBC ITT Kharagpur), were also involved in a project to bridge the digital divide by exposing high school students to the basics of wireless communication and the Internet of Things (IoT). For four days (21–24 December 2020), the SBC ran outreach workshops for rural high school students. The main objective of the outreach workshop program was to acquaint as many students as possible who live in remote areas and lack financial and technical resources.
