K-12 Outreach activities

• Since 2018, I have worked with over 100 community volunteers from across the US for sensor data collection for advanced localization technique. They represent a range of educational levels (K-12 and university) and different employment sectors (large and small educational institutions, non-profit organizations, etc.) and also urban and rural areas.

• Since 2022, Dr. Lee has been involved in mentoring two high school students as part of the PITT Medical Center (UPMC) Computer Science, Biology, and Biomedical Informatics (CoSBBI) Site within the Hillman Academy’s 8-week summer program. The Hillman Academy’s summer program is internationally recognized for its strong focus on STEM education and typically caters to around 60 high school students, primarily those entering their junior and senior years.  This program combines practical and instructional activities tailored to introduce them to the use of software and computational techniques for tackling clinical and research challenges.

• Pittsburgh Regional Science & Engineering Fair (PRSEF) invites middle and high school students to take on the challenge of designing, implementing, and communicating an original experiment while competing for cash prizes and scholarships. Each year, approximately 1,000 students from more than 100 schools participate in Pittsburgh Regional Science & Engineering Fair. Students spend the 12 months leading up to the Science Fair developing and executing a project by utilizing the scientific method. Since 2022, I has played a vital role in the Pittsburgh Regional Science & Engineering Fair (PRSEF) as a category judge, assessing projects presented by middle and high school students in the engineering and robotics fields.

• I organized two circuit and programming activities for elementary and middle school students, including four female students. They learned how to program an Arduino board and connect/control a set of LEDs and low-power timer.
