About Us

STEM access, one workshop at a time

ENGINE stands for Empowering New Generations in Engineering. We are a student-led initiative dedicated to expanding access to STEM education, hands-on engineering experiences, and innovation opportunities for students around the world, especially in underprivileged communities.

Our mission is to make STEM education accessible, engaging, and impactful. Through hands-on workshop kits, educational manuals, mentorship, and community partnerships, we aim to spark curiosity, build technical skills, and empower students to become problem-solvers in their own communities.

ENGINE operates through three main pathways, and collaborates with schools, organizations, and community groups to bring engineering opportunities to students who may not otherwise have access to them.
