!! PROJECT UPDATE !!
Due to the current pandemic and restrictions on travel we have decided to postpone the trip to Malawi until Summer 2021. A difficult decision, especially considering we would currently be travelling there right now! The team will continue to work towards getting sponsors, workshop materials and planning the trip, hopefully the extra time will help raise money and gain more support for the amazing project. Money raised through our JustGiving page will now be used to help fund the 2021 project and we really appreciate any donations! From all of the team thank you for your support, hope you are all safe and well! |
THE PROJECT
FemEng in Malawi is a new international outreach collaboration between the University of Glasgow and Malawi University of Science and Technology. The project is entirely student led with the team being made of female engineering students from both universities. Together, we intend to develop workshops which promote STEM subjects to school children in Malawi. These workshops will be delivered over a 3-4 week period in Summer 2020 and may include activities such as bridge building, low cost medical diagnostics and computer programming demonstrations. Whilst the overall aim of FemEng in Malawi is to encourage STEM participation in Malawi, the project will also see team members benefit from industry visits to see applications of engineering in Malawi as well as cross-cultural activities. |
