Wastewater Digest: Nonprofit introduces students to wastewater treatment

January 17, 2025

On January 15, Engineering Tomorrow teamed up with Engineers Without Borders USA, an organization moving the needle on access to clean water worldwide, to teach 6,400 high school students across the country the fundamentals of wastewater treatment.

During the lab, all students participating designed, tested, and analyzed the results from their own small water filtration system, with all materials shipped to schools for free. At Stone Ridge School of the Sacred Heart, an all-girls school in Bethesda, MD, Engineering Tomorrow staff engineer Joanna Caudle joined students in-person to lead them through the lab. 

Engineering Tomorrow inspires students to pursue engineering careers they may have not considered. Read more about the event here. >
