Local Work
If you can't solve problems at home, how can you solve problems abroad? EWB WashU helps communities around the St. Louis Area because we are more than travel addicts that happen to be engineers.
Outside of the WashU bubble, St. Louis is a very mixed patchwork of communities ranging from the abandoned areas reverting to urban prarie to the private, gated communities of the privileged and wealthy.
Current Projects
- Designers with a Conscience
EWB provides website design skills for local communities and non-profit organizations. In the Spring of 2009, EWB members completed the website for the Spanish Lake Community Association.
Project Lead: Cory Flanagin

- Green School Wind Turbine
We teamed up with the staff at the Patrick Henry Downtown Academy to teach students about alternative energy by constructing a portable wind turbine. There's hardly a more concrete tool for showing pre-K through 6th grade kids how and where electricity comes from.
Project Lead: Chloe Greenberg
- Solomon Project
Working with Pastor Father Gary of Saints Teresa and Bridget Parish and North Grand Neighborhood Services, EWB WashU helps out periodically with rehabbing homes in the North Grand Neighborhood to create homes for low income residents to own a home for the first time.
Project Lead: could be you? Brad Pelz (07' - SP10')
- Burning Kumquat Electrocycle
Working on a farm generally means working without electrical outlets. No Problem! EWB's own Brad Pelz (BS EE 2010) built a bike powered generator for the Kumquat farm in his senior design. Now its up to us to continue to make his design better.
