Engineers Without Borders invites you and your students to meet the engineers who are designing technologies that are saving the environment and making a real difference in the lives of developing communities. This interactive expo will give students the chance to use demonstration models, construct small scale technologies and quiz these innovative designers.

Some of the exciting exhibits include:
• The SkyJuice foundation - micro pore water filter

• Alia Water Technologies - water treatment technologies

• Alternative Fuels and Energy including Sun Lizard home climate control

• Algae bioreactor - recycling of CO2 using algae

• Bokashi Bin (Eco Organics) - a food waste recycling system

• Carocell Solar Desalination

• Puk Housing

• Alternative Technology Association (ATA) - International Projects Group

• EWB Challenge first-year design project finalists

• Aquaponics - growing of fish and plants in integrated system

• EWB Undergraduate research projects

• Cardboard emergency relief housing

• Reinforced mud brick housing

• Rammed earth housing

• RDI-Cambodia - Mickey Sampson

• Wind Power - including Turbi Turbine

• A selection of appropriate technologies like solar cookers, briquette makers, ceramic water filters

Water Treatment Systems
Over 1 billion people in the world don’t have access to clean water, resulting in over 2 million deaths annually from diseases related to unsafe drinking water. Designers will display solutions ranging from microfiltration systems to simple clay and coffee ground filters that remove bacteria and viruses from water.

Algae Bioreactor
With fossil fuels running low and the issue of carbon emissions on everyone’s minds, engineers are looking at how we can power our world in clean sustainable ways. One solution is an algae bioreaction system that recycles CO2 from power plants by converting it to biofuels.

4th Year Engineering Research Students
During their final year of engineering students get the chance to apply their theoretical learning in a major final year project. Talk to students who have decided to base their projects on small scale life changing technologies for use in developing countries.

Come along and show your students how their maths and science skills are essential to building a better future!
