Showcase Workshops
The UK needs more young people to become engineers. Our Showcase Workshops aim to inspire the next generation of globally responsible engineers by showing them the difference engineers can make.
Our showcase workshops
The interactive hands-on workshops, run by volunteer Showcase Ambassadors in the classroom, encourage young people to explore the world’s most pressing human development issues. We show them how they can be part of the solution by becoming engineers.
We believe that if we can successfully demonstrate the difference that engineers can make to people, the communities they live in and the world we all share, then more young people, from more diverse backgrounds, will choose engineering careers.
What students learn
Students learn about the power of engineering to reshape the world around them, its range of real-world applications and the wealth of potential career opportunities it offers.
The workshops span several areas of the curriculum and can broaden the spiritual, moral, social and cultural (SMSC) development of pupils or work related learning schemes. All our Showcase Ambassadors are part of the National STEM Ambassador Programme.
There are currently two Showcase Workshops to choose from:
- Water for Everyone Everywhere
- Power for Everyone Everywhere
Hold a showcase workshop at schools

All of the Engineers Without Borders UK Ambassadors are registered with the National STEM Ambassadors Programme
