STEAM-TEAMS Visit: Visit to Fox Meadow Middle School, 16 Apr
Note: The some of the links will go to linkiedin since this description is from Dr Santiago linkedin account. The IEEE Pikes Peak Section is excited to kick off a IEEE-Cool Science Collaboration where STEAM-TEAMS (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts/AI, and Mathematics) Community Outreach Initiative, designed to foster innovation, mentorship, and hands-on learning. Whether you're an engineer, educator, student, or industry professional, this initiative is your chance to contribute to shaping the future of STEM/STEAM education. This is an opportunity for active and engaged member for the IEEE Pikes Peak Section members to check out how we can support the Cool Science events.
🎉 Be Part of the IEEE-Cool Science Collaboration!
IEEE-Cool Science Collaboration Support and Meeting
📅 Date: Monday, April 16, 2025
🕔 Time: 4:00 - 5:30 pm (3:30 prep time, 4:00 pm start time)
📍 Location: Fox Meadow Middle-School
📍 Address: 1450 Cheyenne Meadows Road, Colorado Springs, CO 80906
Phone: (719) 527-7100
Calendar of Events to Support Cool Science: Marc Straub, President/Director of Cool Science has a busy calendar of events that can be found here (https://lnkd.in/gGnhEyme). Please let me know if you plan on attending at john.santiago@ieee.org or simply registering for not only this event but in future events as well.
In this meeting, Dr Santiago, plans to demonstrate some hands-on, do-it-yourself activities for students, such as squishy circuits, aluminum cardboard circuits, and the world's simplest motor (homopolar motor). If the middle-school students complete the squishy circuits (https://lnkd.in/gjaJKrwv) and the world's simplest motor activities (https://lnkd.in/g5U3jWmG) early that I have planned, then I can present the slide show to middle-school students. This will be one of Dr Santiago's contribution in helping out the Cool Science program with electricity/electromagnetics.

Biography:
Short Video Bio of Dr John Santiago by Gene Freeman: John Santiago | IEEE Pikes Peak Section
Dr. John Santiago served 26 years in the U.S. Air Force as a research and development engineer, as well as an engineering manager, gaining leadership & technical experience in many engineering disciplines, systems & missions: large flexible space structures, communications, electro-optical systems, high-energy lasers, missile seekers, image recognition, information technologies, space, air & missile defense & homeland defense.
He retired again during 2019 from an 18-year career as a full-time professor, including over 4 years at the USAF Academy. John is continuing to work with the Kern Entrepreneurial Engineering Network (KEEN), a collaboration of 40+ universities & colleges while publishing several papers at the American Society of Engineering Education (ASEE) using the KEEN framework.
The framework combines the technical skill sets & the entrepreneurial mindset, to revolutionize the teaching of engineering.
As a professor of electrical & systems engineering, he taught 40+ courses in engineering, physics & math including 12 graduate courses, authoring 50+ papers, presentations & receiving several educator awards.
