The Industrial Electrochemistry and Electrochemical Engineering (IEEE) Division of the Electrochemical Society (ECS) completed its twelfth Outreach Program at the 224~(th) ECS Meeting in San Francisco, California. The outreach program is designed to bring awareness of electrochemical energy conversion devices to the future generations. The program aims to foster the younger generation's interests in the fields of electrochemistry and electrochemical engineering. The outreach program has become a tradition in the IEEE Division since its start at the 210~(th) ECS Meeting (Cancun, Mexico, Fall 2006). Typically, the outreach programs have taken place at local schools. But, at the 224~(th( meeting of the ECS, for the first time, the outreach program took place at the ECS site (the Hilton San Francisco Hotel), therefore, the participants of the program had ample opportunities to be exposed to electrochemistry and electrochemical engineering research. In addition to the outreach program, the participants attended the Energy Research Group Showcase Poster Session of the Electrochemical Energy Summit that took place on Sunday evening, and learned about the hydrogen fuel cars while touring the exhibit during the conference.
