The third video found in the YouTube video playlist below provides a brief history of IEEE.  The other video describes a vision for sustaining IEEE sections through mentorship.   You can view mentorship as a source of renewable energy.  The AI-assisted video playlist serves as samples of current state-of-the-art implementation used to create  STEM/STEAM multimedia content using AI-assisted tools.

COOL SCIENCE

In the 15 Sep STEAM-TEAMS meeting and future meetings until Oct 2025, the members of IEEE-PPS are planning the participation and preparation of Cool Science Carnival Day (Sep 27, 2025, Saturday) and Cool Science Festival (Sep 27- Oct 12, 2025). Please visit https://coolscience.org and https://r5.ieee.org/pikespeak/ and https://r5.ieee.org/pikespeak/steam-teams-notes.

Do-It-Yourself (DIY) Demos are presented to empower each member of the IEEE Pikes Peak Section.

WIE IEEE Anthem: We (WIE) Are Family

WIE IEEE Anthem: We (WIE) Are Family

(Note: Prototype Video/Song:  WIE IEEE Anthem: We (WIE) Are Family The narrated word in caption on videos is from another video and are not the same lyrics shown below:

Empathy · Emotional Intelligence · Ethics — Together We Shine

INTRO (spoken + harmony build)

Mother Nature (spoken): “From the stars to the sea, from circuits to hearts — we shine

together, in empathy.”

Background vocals (whispered chant): “W-I-E … I-Triple-E … We … are … fa-mi-ly …”

VERSE 1 — The Ripple Begins

In the forest lab where the lasers glow,

And the ocean hums where the virtues flow,

Every mind’s a mirror, every heart’s a key —

We build the world through harmony!

CHORUS — Anthem of Unity

■ We are family — W-I-E, I-Triple-E!

Leading with empathy, shining ethically!

From I to WE, in harmony,

We build the world with love and energy! ■

VERSE 2 — Empathy in Motion

When the current’s strong, we stay aligned,

Emotional intelligence — heart and mind!

Integrity’s the rhythm, courage sets us free —

Together we’re one symphony!

CHORUS (Full Ensemble)

■ We are family — W-I-E, I-Triple-E!

Leading with empathy, shining ethically!

From I to WE, in harmony,

We light the sky with curiosity! ■

BRIDGE — Gospel Jazz Feel

We lift each other higher — we mentor and inspire,

Our ripples reach infinity — coherence never tires!

Oh, empathy and ethics — our triple E decree,

Together we illuminate — the best of you and me!

OUTRO (Soft fade, Mother Nature reprise)

Mother Nature (spoken softly): “When empathy becomes energy… The ‘I’ becomes ‘We.’

That’s the power of WIE.”

Important Note: 

The videos below do have AI-assisted artifacts and errors.  Currently, AI has limited capability to do multi-modal delivery.  For example, when a static image has text, the text appears distorted when  a static image is tasked to do AI animation.

This is for the 2025 Cool Science Carnival Day and S.T.A.R. mentors.

his info as well at https://r5.ieee.org/pikespeak/carnival-day and at https://r5.ieee.org/pikespeak/pyramid.  Also, my plans are there to be there all day.

When & Where

• .Event: Cool Science Carnival Day at UCCS (FREE, family STEAM festival)
• Date/Time: Sat, Sep 27, 10:00 a.m.–4:00 p.m. (Chemistry Magic Show at 9:00 a.m. for early birds) Cool Science
• Campus: University of Colorado Colorado Springs (UCCS), 1420 Austin Bluffs Pkwy

Arrival & Check-In

• Arrive: 8:00–9:00 a.m. for setup.  (I will do this, S.T.A.R. mentors will need just need to arrive on your hour of participation)
• Check-in location: Exhibitor/Information Table on the University Center (UCTR) Lower Plaza (near KFL on the campus map). Staff/volunteers will guide you from there. Cool Science
• Parking: All campus lots are FREE on weekends (observe any “No Parking” signs). Cool Science

Our Booth (IEEE Pikes Peak Section)

• Building/Level: Osborne Center for Science & Engineering (OCSE), 2nd Floor, B-Wing
• Map note: The exhibitor map set shows OCSE layouts; the 2nd-floor plan includes an “IEEE” label in B-wing—that’s our zone. We’ll confirm the exact table location on arrival. Cool Science

What’s Provided vs. What to Bring

• Provided: 3 tables, 3 chairs, electricity (per event organizer).
• Bring:
  • Extension cords and power strips (required for electrical access).
  • Any demo materials, handouts, and signage.
  • Snacks/water (limited pizza/water is planned for exhibitors; plan self-support to avoid delays). Cool Science

Day-Of Operations

• Foot traffic: Expect several hundred kids at our station; total festival attendance typically ~8,000 throughout the day (weather dependent).
• Wi-Fi/Cell: Guest Wi-Fi (UCCS-GUEST) is available; cell coverage can be weak inside buildings. Cool Science
• Scavenger Hunt: If you see an “elephant element” page on our table, keep it visible—kids will ask for it as part of the Periodic Table of the Elephants hunt. Cool Science
• Sales/Solicitations: Allowed to distribute info about IEEE and events; no sales or donations onsite. (Organizer rule.)
• Load-out: You may pack up at 4:00 p.m.; volunteers may be limited late afternoon.

Weather Plan

• Baseline forecast: Sunny, mid-70s; if weather changes, some outdoor stations may be moved indoors (often Gallogly Events Center); most activities are already indoors. We’ll adapt as directed by staff. Cool Science

Roles & Quick Playbook (Mentor Focus)

• S.T.A.R. = STEAM-TEAMS Ambassadors for Outreach.
• Engage fast: greet, invite hands-on, offer 30-60s demos, then handoff to the next visitor.
• Message discipline: “IEEE = engineers improving lives,” “Ask about our local STEAM-TEAMS nights,” and “Sign up for follow-up.”
• Flow: 1) Greeter/line manager, 2) Demo lead(s), 3) Sign-up + sticker/handout lead.
• Capture interest: quick QR/sign-up for future STEAM-TEAMS workshops, mentors, and student activities.

Contact, Comms, and Safety

• On-site lead: John Santiago (cell in signature).
• If lost: Ask any volunteer at building entrances or the Lower Plaza Info Table for OCSE 2nd-floor B-wing directions. Cool Science
• Safety: Keep walkways clear; manage cords/tape-downs; sanitize shared items periodically.

Thank you for representing IEEE with professionalism and heart. See you Saturday!

Very Respectfully,
John
