Vote: 6 STEM Programs That Matter

Editor's Note: Voting is now closed for the STEM Impact ACE Award. Thank you for your participation.

We need some crowdsourcing help. As part of EE Times' and EDN's annual ACE Awards for excellence in electronics design, we want you to vote on the winner for the STEM Impact Award.

This award celebrates an individual or company that demonstrates a commitment to engaging young people and inspiring them to become science and technology leaders. Nominations were limited to companies and employees of companies in the electronics industry. The Electronic Components Industry Association (ECIA) will present the award during the ACE Awards ceremony Tuesday, April 1, at San Jose's Fairmont Hotel during the EE Live! conference. You will select the winner here on EE Times.

There are six finalists, listed below in alphabetical order. Look through the next six pages, and then vote for your favorite through the poll on the EE Times home page. You may vote for only one entrant. The pages display text and images submitted by finalists (although not all of them submitted images). We only applied minor edits and formatting to the text.

In addition to the honor of being recognized, the winner will take home a beautiful bauble similar to the one pictured above. We're sure you'll agree all these companies are winners (as are all the companies that participate in STEM programs every year).
