🚲🍓 From ideas to action: the SmoothieBike project is officially rolling!

Over the past weeks, Engineers without borders Luxembourg has started bringing the SmoothieBike initiative to life together with the children at Day Care Arcus as part of the national BNE – “Bildung fir Nohalteg Entwécklung” programme.

What began as a broken bicycle is gradually transforming into something much bigger:
✨ a hands-on lesson in sustainability,
✨ a creative engineering experience,
✨ and a fun way to explore circular economy in everyday life.

Through the workshops, children are discovering how technical thinking, teamwork, and creativity can give new life to unused materials. Step by step, they are learning that sustainability is not just a concept in a classroom, but something tangible they can build with their own hands.

And soon… the real reward:
Pedal-powered smoothies made by the children themselves! 🍓⚡

Beyond the smoothies, the project encourages discussions around:
🌍 Reducing waste
🔄 Reusing materials
💡 Energy and innovation
💚 Healthy and active lifestyles

Seeing the children’s curiosity and enthusiasm reminds us why projects like this matter: small engineering ideas can plant the seeds for lifelong environmental awareness.

A huge thank you to everyone involved in making this initiative possible. More updates coming soon!

👩🏻 Inspiring young women to take initiative

A big thank you to the Young Women Conference (YWC) for inviting us to take part in this inspiring trade fair. It was a great opportunity to connect with young women and raise awareness around environmental and societal challenges and most importantly, to show that impact doesn’t require many resources, just curiosity and initiative.

💡 From experimenting with a water filter prototype to generating electricity using a lime, these hands-on activities sparked conversations, creativity, and engagement.

Seeing their enthusiasm, questions, and ideas reminded us why this work matters.

Following our participation on 19 March, we would like to thank the Young Women’s Conference (YWC), and Hanna Siemaszko supported by the Luxembourg National Research Fund (FNR), for this inspiring event.

QUARTERLY MEETING EWB LUX

On June 4th, 2025, we gathered for our quarterly meeting at the university — a great opportunity to connect, share ideas, and reflect on recent progress.

One of the highlights was the presentation of our recently completed project in Kenya – we’re proud to have successfully delivered a water access solution for St. Joseph’s Girls Secondary School, a boarding school in rural Kenya. 🌍💧

We also shared updates on ongoing initiatives and projects, including:
– Renewable Energy in Zambia ⚡
– Circular Economy efforts in Cameroon ♻️
– And a short report on our internal plastic recycling workshop.

It was fantastic to see both new and familiar faces — thank you to everyone who joined and contributed to the inspiring conversations.
