I'm fairly certain engineering/STEM advocation qualifies as outreach and what is expected of a role model Chairman's team. It's a subjective award, but from what I've seen teams that win Chairman's don't necessarily do work for charities, not STEM related orgs etc, that's only a small part of what they do. The bigger part is how well they inspire others to recognize STEM. If your team is heavily advocating engineering/STEM that definitely fits under the Chairman's criteria.
Unfortunately, I have no experience in specifically going for EI award, but in my experience it seems to be a lead-up to Chairman's. Chairman's is given to a team that deserves to be a role model, and EI (in my view) is given to a team that is an inspiration but not quite yet a role model. When I was on the team, my team won EI awards back to back years and then after another year won the Chairman's award, as we worked on becoming a more professional looking team with better documentation etc. Between the two years of EI and Chairman's our outreach/[engineer/STEM advocation] was likely about the same.
