How do we get clean water to the communities that need it?

Bring the chemistry, biology, and math principles your students are learning in the classroom to life with this inspiring keynote by members of Engineers Without Borders. They’ll talk about communities they’re partnered with throughout the world, and also describe their career journeys and how they chose engineering.

Students will have the opportunity to ask questions of the speakers, as well as current college students who are studying related fields.
