Engineers without borders Luxembourg are taking part in the national BNE – “Bildung fir Nohalteg Entwécklung” programme, promoting climate awareness, circular economy, and sustainable development.
As part of this initiative, the SmoothieBike project will soon come to life through hands-on workshops with children aged 8–12 at Day Care Arcus.
More than just a bike, SmoothieBike is a powerful storytelling and learning tool, showing how engineering and material reuse can make sustainability tangible and fun.
The project has two key parts:
🔧 Building the SmoothieBike
Together with the children, we will transform a broken bicycle into a pedal-powered blender, introducing them to:
• Engineering basics and technical thinking
• The value of reuse and circular economy
• Creativity, teamwork, and hands-on problem-solving
🍓 Using the SmoothieBike
The bike will remain at the Day Care, allowing children to turn fruits into smoothies using their own energy, demonstrating how engineering can:
• Reduce food waste
• Promote healthy nutrition
• Encourage active lifestyles
• Make sustainability concrete and engaging
Through this project, we aim to show that simple technical ideas can spark curiosity, empower young minds, and inspire the next generation to think differently about resources and sustainability.
