School Outreach
Inspiring primary and secondary students to become the next generation of engineering and technical professionals. 

We believe that engineering and technical professions have a significant role to play in solving global challenges. We want to inspire the next generation of professionals. Our School Outreach and Regioneering programs do just that.

The EWB School Outreach program sends teams of trained EWB volunteers into schools to run creative, hands-on workshops designed to open young people’s minds to the challenges facing developing countries. They also highlight inspiring career options available to engineers and technical professionals and the power of humanitarian engineering to create positive change.

 

Core School Outreach Modules include: 

  • Renewable Energy Workshop - how EWB bring's light to marginalised communities.
  • Water Filtration Workshops - how we create clean water systems, based on our work in Cambodia. 
  • Appropriate Housing Workshops - how to create appropriate and sustainable housing in developing countries. 
  • Prosthetic Limb building workshop - use basic materials to change someone's life.  
  • Coding for Development module,  teaching how to code disaster warning systems in developing countries. 
  • The program targets primary and secondary school students, particularly those from Indigenous, female or low socio-economic backgrounds, and is delivered by university students (usually engineering students).

 

It also offers university student volunteers a wonderful opportunity to develop skills in leadership, public speaking, and community engagement.
