Shelter for the World

Shelter for the World is a new outreach module developed by EWB-UK for Key Stage 2 students.

In this workshop, students learn about shelter - what it is, how it varies around the world and what makes it adequate - and the global situation, including the world slum crisis. An interactive shelter-building activity calls on them to think like engineers, testing their problem solving, decision making and teamwork, as well as leaving them with a positive message about how they can engage in the solution.
