Over 19,000 people have already registered as STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) Ambassadors. The Programme enables any professional with STEM skills to work with teachers and young people (5-19) in promoting a positive view of STEM, and in demonstrating how essential STEM is throughout every part of the world in which we work.

Britain's first education programme raising awareness of global water sustainability issues is being introduced across the country by Engineers Without Borders UK and engineering firm Arup.. 'Water for the World' is an interactive classroom session aimed at pupils between the ages of eleven and eighteen. It aims to stimulate critical thinking and includes presentations, quizzes, games and a water filter workshop. The programme, developed by Engineers Without Borders UK and The Arup Cause, is the first of its kind to consider water sustainability in a global context.

The second annual National Outreach Conference was held in Oxford on January 31- February 1, 2009. Fifteen representatives from nine branches, along with two professionals were present. The purpose of the weekend was to bring people together to meet other people interested in outreach, share skills and experiences, discuss about the future of outreach, and focus on project development and start the development of a new national project.

Here are all the documents relating to EWB-UK Outreach

Please come to the National Outreach Conference!

This promises to be a fun chance to meet and share experiences with other people running outreach, to learn how to run Water for the World, to share ideas and focus on project development, and to learn useful information about school curriculums and CRB info.

When: 31 Jan-1 Feb

Where: Oxford

Cost: Travel expenses and some food, everything else will be covered including accomodation for one or two nights. Some reimbursement for travel expenses is available.

Come and join EWB-Oxford for FREE pizza, wine, and to learn about our amazing
outreach workshops.  Our Outreach programs involve going into local schools and
running workshops that raise awareness about different development challenges
and hopefully inspire students to consider further work in science or
development.  It is a great opportunity for you to get directly involved,
whether you want to get up in front of a class and teach, or help design new
workshops. It is great fun and the students love it.

Background:  

As a result of work by the Outreach team and Rob Cottrell last year a Outreach Strategy has been developed.
