The Siemens Empowering People Awards celebrates technologies that provide solutions for basic global needs. There are multiple categories including Energy, Waste Management, Water, Healthcare and Housing. The solutions are not all high-tech but that are all incredibly innovative and help to solve real problems. Past winning solutions are catalogued and described in detail at http://www.empowering-people-network.siemens-stiftung.org/
As a Club Leader, this website is a valuable resource of ideas ad inspiration for your young and budding engineers. It can help show them that you do not need formal engineering degrees to do the work of an engineer and see and solve problems in new, innovative, simple and cost-effective ways.
The 2015 Awards are now open. Who knows, maybe one of your kids could win!
