In Term 1, a group of students participated in a creative problem-solving workshop after-school programme run by Futureintech, who deliver initiatives to promote careers in technology, engineering and science.

The workshops focused on engineering in a humanitarian/sustainable context with different engineers leading each workshop. Topics covered included transportation and infrastructure, providing clean water, designing relief shelters after disasters and solar engineering.

We'd love to thank Futureintech for this programme, and Engineering New Zealand and Massey University for their support. Also, thanks to the wonderful engineers who volunteered their time for this programme, and the facilitator, Susan Weekes.
