Going the Distance

Going the Distance is a new Outreach module developed by EWB-UK for Key Stage 2 students.

This workshop teaches students about how not just transport, but the infrastructure surrounding it, is crucial for the most simple things - trade, education, healthcare, communication, enjoyment - and ultimately for climbing out of poverty. Students design a town's infrastructure, in order to get them thinking about what the work of an engineer entails.
