❄️ Winter Regioneering Recap ❄️

Over the Winter Break 30 UniMelb students from EWB, SiRE, and MUEES volunteered for 5 days teaching in Primary Schools across 📍 Daylesford and Shepparton!

Each day consisted of teams of 5 delivering a range of workshops from targeting different engineering disciplines and free time spent sightseeing, eating pies from the bakery, or a 30-person LAZERTAG?!

Scroll for student designs from each workshop and a taste of the volly experience on an EWB Regioneering Trip.

A HUGE thank you to our Regioneering Co-ordinators Tobias and Karthika. 👏

We’re back with more volunteering opportunities!!!

Our school outreach programs including Metroneering, Regioneering, and Maths Without Limits are the easiest and most rewarding programs to get involved in the club. No experience is required, just a passion for inspiring young students!

Venture out to Primary Schools 30min from Melbourne Uni and run a series of one-hour workshops with a group of 3-4 enthusiastic EWB vollies. The session starts with a presentation about what engineering is, and then focuses on a specific type of engineering in a hands-on activity.

Spots are LIMITED so GET IN QUICK. You’ll be invited into the Metroneering group on Microsoft Teams, where the Workshop leader will communicate with and guide you on the day. We’ve recently switched to Microsoft Teams as the main platform for communications. For information, please read the sign-up form outlining communication style.

This term we will be conducting workshops at:

⭐️ St Michael’s Primary School (North Melbourne) | Monday 10th August | 8:30am - 1pm | Clean Water
⭐️ St Anthony’s Primary School (Alphington) | Monday 17th August | 8:30am - 1:30pm | Safe Structures
⭐️ St Raphael’s Primary School | Thursday 20th August | 8:30am - 2pm | Safe Structures
⭐️ Clifton Hill Primary School | Wednesday 26th August | 8:30am - 2pm | Clean Water, Appropriate Housing
📍 You are welcome to sign up for multiple volunteering days.

📍 Longer break but we will still have access to the teaching room throughout to study or focus on something else, if you are able stay for the whole day.

This sounds fun I know… so what are you waiting for? Sign up below to secure YOUR spot⬇
