Engineering's Priorities

Waterloo Engineering student teams working on a rocket
Support students as they develop and compete in design challenges around the world! With over 35 student teams — from Formula SAE and Midnight Sun to Waterloo Rocketry and Waterloop — these teams rely on the support of donors throughout the design process. Your donation makes it possible for students to explore all that student design teams have to offer and provides the resources needed to succeed.

We are building a diverse pipeline of future engineers by inspiring youth and delivering programs from Kindergarten all the way to graduate students. With the support of our donors, we can continue to expand our reach to impact more youth and Waterloo Engineering students. Engineering is for everyone; help us ensure every student sees their potential.
