Frequently Asked Questions Forum
The EWB Challenge online frequently asked questions (FAQs) forum enables the equitable management of student questions and queries regarding the EWB Challenge. Students may post questions to the forum related to any aspect of the EWB Challenge. The EWB Challenge committee will manage the forum and ensure that answers are available for all students to access.
To post questions, students need to register for the forum. To register click here and join the team. Please note you must be a member of EWB (free for EWB Challenge students) to use the FAQ. The EWB Challenge committee will approve all student registrations on the forum. Please register early to avoid delays in posting questions due to the forum registration process.
The FAQs forum is interactive and queries will be answered by the EWB Challenge committee, Kooma Traditional Owner volunteers, EWB volunteers and other students participating in the EWB Challenge.
