In the latest episode of the Accelerating Action podcast, Josh MacLeod (Pathways Outreach Program Manager, Engineers Without Borders Australia) sits down with the Australian Water Association to discuss an inspiring Indigenous-led youth outreach initiative. 

With a focus on empowering young Indigenous Australians in Far North Queensland, Josh shares how Engineers Without Borders is working with communities to address water challenges and engage local youth in STEM education through hands-on, culturally respectful projects. 

Josh delves into the collaborative approach behind this initiative, where traditional knowledge meets engineering solutions to solve real-world problems, such as access to clean water. Through workshops and community-driven projects, young people are exploring engineering careers that enable them to stay connected to their land and culture. This conversation sheds light on the importance of community trust, place-based solutions, and the exciting opportunities that STEM fields hold for First Nations youth in Australia.
