IEEE emeritbadges.org Program
The IEEE emeritbadges.org program has developed hands-on electricity and electronics instructional material based on the Boy Scouts' merit badge requirements. Instructional material for computer education is being developed. Any student, boy or girl can use the program to enhance technical literacy and learn more about viable engineering and other technical career options. The IEEE emeritbadges.org program will be sponsoring the Electricity Merit Badge and the Electronics Merit Badge booth at the 2010 National Scout Jamboree.

"Celebrating The Twentieth Anniversary Of The Albert Einstein Fellowship Program"
The Albert Einstein Distinguished Educator Fellowship Program is celebrating its twentieth anniversary. The program offers current public or private elementary and secondary science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) classroom teachers with demonstrated excellence in teaching an opportunity to serve in the national public policy arena. Fellows provide practical insight in establishing and operating education programs at federal agencies, such as the Department of Energy, NASA, NOAA, and the National Science Foundation. Fellowships increase understanding, communication, and cooperation between legislative and executive branches and the STEM education community.
Congressman Mike Honda (D-CA), a long-time supporter of the program, introduced House Resolution 1322 on May 4th to recognize the importance of the program and the significant role Einstein Fellows play in fostering cooperation between government entities focused on STEM education issues. In a letter to other members, Congressman Honda said that his “office has had the benefit of having Einstein Fellows for the past four years and I can personally attest to the tremendous contributions they have made to science education throughout the nation.” Fourteen other members co-sponsored the legislation, including Congressmen George Miller (D-CA), Rush Holt (D-NJ), and Ruben Hinojosa (D-TX) who have hosted Fellows in their offices. Congressman Miller, as chair of the House Education and Labor Committee will oversee the disposition of the resolution.
Fellows past, present, and future will gather in Washington D.C. from June 27 through 29 at the Woodrow Wilson Center for International Scholars . A dedicated group of Fellows Emeritus and those serving currently have worked for the past six months to develop a program that will highlight the myriad accomplishments of the Fellows over the past twenty years and to facilitate development of STEM education policy recommendations for the future. A compilation of the proceedings will be published and provided to the public.
