Engineering World Health is reaching more kids than ever! We are creating new curricula and new kits to teach K-12 students about a wider range of STEM topics. You can see them all here: http://www.ewh.org/students/stem/stem-education

We continue to have a special focus on engaging girls and children of color in STEM activities. EWH is partnering with Durham's Boys and Girls Club, Girl Scouts, and the North Carolina Science Festival to show diverse groups of children the opportunities available to them in STEM fields of education and careers. More than that, EWH strives to teach children how engineering can be used to find solutions to global health challenges.

The Girls Engineering Change project will be investing in Kits, which provide hands-on experience, insight, and understanding of important engineering concepts and the practical skills needed by both engineers and technicians.  Kits are used to teach fundamental STEM priniciples and to provide a fun, creative educational experience for K-12 students.  With these Kits, Girls Engineering Change will be able to engage more girls in STEM fields than ever before!
