Achieving creativity and innovation through IEEE Pre-University divisions

At last year´s IEEE Sections Congress, a recommendation was made to encourage and support the participation of high school students in engineering-based activities. The authors discuss their experience founding a new club at Montgomery High School, in Skillman, New Jersey. There was considerable enthusiasm for the club, which currently has twenty-five members. Students meet once a week to work on open-ended problems, developing their interest in engineering and intellectual pursuits in general.
