Community Outreach

RHS SWENext has provided 100+ students in WA with free engineering lessons through our community outreach. Our engineering workshops have reached more than 1000 students.

We focus on a specific discipline of engineering each time and provide information on careers in STEM. Our goal is to foster an interest in STEM and to grow excitement for learning.

We develop all lessons ourselves and incorporate elements catered to each classroom.
