What better opportunity to inspire students about the world of science, math and technology than during National Engineer's and Technician's Month in February.

The experience was so positive for the engineers. Seeing the children get excited about something that is so important to the guys - it was invaluable. I think that getting the engineers out from their insulated worlds is also beneficial.

At IBM, our engineers have been volunteering in our local schools supporting the National Engineer Program and the International E-week initiative for 18 years. Our company has experienced great success in reaching out to students of all ages, introducing them to new and exciting aspects of math, science and engineering. IBM's commitment to supporting the communities in which we operate and building our pipeline of future engineers is our goal.
