From October 6th to 26th, EWB is participating in UConn Ignite!
We will use donations to fund international engineering projects and send our club members on trips to complete project work or attend conferences. One example is sending members to Peru to work on our new project, where we will help a local community build a latrine and a solar-powered water heater. Any additional funds will be used for the group’s general activities.
Our fundraising brings the UConn community together to support a global cause, emphasizing using engineering for a positive change. Our members are able to apply skills they learn in the classroom to real world problems, preparing them for projects that will reflect UConn’s efforts in future innovators and problem solvers. It gives students pride and connection to UConn as they solve sustainable solutions that impact the real lives of communities in need. We foster community, leadership, and teamwork, values that will continue to create a better academic and social environment at UConn.
