Teaching Magnetoelectric Sensing to Secondary School Students—Considerations for Educational STEM Outreach

A major challenge in modern society is the need to increase awareness and excitement with regard to science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) and related careers directly or among peers and parents in order to attract future generations of scientists and engineers. The numbers of stude...
