Last week our Nicaragua team attended the EWB-USA National Conference in Charlotte, North Carolina! They attended many seminars to learn skills including technical water system design, international communication, and fundraising for a project. The team also got to meet their program engineers who collaborate with them on the project from the in country office in Nicaragua. The team also won the popular vote for the poster competition! Overall, the conference was a super rewarding experience!

Welcome back to our Puerto Rico travel team!



This summer, the Puerto Rico Project sent a team of 5 students and 2 mentors to the island for an a solar implementation assessment trip at the ID Shaliah Community Center in Cubuy, Puerto Rico. In a short three days, the team met the board of directors, surveyed the site, and met their professional engineer, Angel Zayas, for conversations about project scope and timeline.



For the second half of their trip, the team visited the Hogar Project at the children’s shelter in Mayaguez. They built marshmallow catapults with the children and improved the reliability and efficiency of the implemented solar system.
