Water is a vital resource, essential for our everyday needs. However, we are facing challenges in getting and maintaining access for people all around the world. Engineering has a significant role to play in addressing these challenges.

Pupils explore the challenges involved in making sure everyone around the world can get access to safe and clean drinking water. They learn about the importance of water in our everyday lives and the role that engineering plays in its distribution. The pupils then design, build and test their own water filter. This workshop builds on the Sustainable Development Goals and the concept of global citizenship.
