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.

Pre-University Education
To foster an interest in the engineering profession, IEEE serves student members and colleges around the world. IEEE realizes that high school student exposure to the accomplishments of engineers is critical to significantly increase engineering enrollment at the university level. Thus, the IEEE created and sponsors the IEEE Scouting Program, whose mission it is to provide a global pre-university technology education program, primarily through the Boy Scout and Girl Scout organizations. The program is designed to reach pre-university students and educators to “enhance the level of technological literacy of pre-university educators and students worldwide”. The program has two main activities 1) emeritbadges.org (Boy Scouts) and (2) GirlsGoEngineering.org (Girl Scouts).
