Want to explore how you can play a part in designing the future?

The WiE Design the Future is aimed at Year 11 students who identify as women, and who have been identified by their teachers as interested in STEM subjects, creative, problem solvers, team players and leaders who they think would make great engineers but who aren’t already strongly considering engineering. Students attend a three-day day camp with the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Auckland. Students will spend time exploring the campus and taking part in a range of hands-on activities.

Over the three days, students will be involved in a variety of activities from different fields that play a major role in shaping our future. They will have opportunities to engage with experts and role models who are actively involved in these industries and will show how the activities relate to the real work that they are doing. There will also be opportunities for students to engage with current engineering students who will share their own experiences and journeys.

The event will wrap up with a celebration at the University of Auckland, with parents, guardians and whānau to showcase the student’s achievements during their time us.

This camp is offered free of cost to all successful applicants, thanks to our amazing sponsor, Fisher and Paykel Healthcare, and the support of the Faculty of Engineering
