INSPIRE by EWB UNSW

This week we were joined by Dr Scott Daniel senior lecturer in humanitarian engineering at UTS. Diving into his knowledge of public speaking, science, volunteering and just a little geography. So you are bound to learn something new! This is following our investigation into off-grid power systems, with knowledge they may come in handy when trying to reduce your power usage or even camping.

This episode we get to know the new leadership team for the next stage of the EWB UNSW chapter, discuss some of our experiences in EWB so far and find out how you can get involved in the coming year. Following this, we dive into our investigation of water purification with investigations of interest, so dont miss out.

This week we are joined by Darcy Small, the co-founder of a coffee-based startup called Kua. We’ll talk about the startup space, waste management and of course coffee! Our team on ‘Investigations of interest,’ will cover the paper centrifuge and its importance as a humanitarian device.

This week we are joined by Dr Andrew Dansie, senior lecturer in the field of humanitarian engineering. We focus on leadership skills, teaching and what it means to pursue a career in humanitarian engineering. Additionally, on our recurring segment 'investigations of interest', we will discuss the impact of the fast fashion industry and provide insight into its trends.

Enjoy!

Shona Fitzgerald zoomed in to chat with us about her career and experiences in the water and sanitation sector, working for Sydney Water, Engineers Without Borders and World Bank.
