University of New South Wales
YWIE Pathway Program
We are on the brink of extinction. Heatwaves and bushfires become the new summer, and heavy rain and hurricanes become our new winter. This is the new normal. Who can we call to fix all of this? The reality is … it is up to us. Everyone can be an engineer. UNSW’s YWIE Pathway Program provided me with the opportunity to explore engineering as a future pathway for my career. The challenge was to create a concept for an innovative filtration or capture system that can be integrated into green wall systems to stop microplastic from entering waterways when we use greywater in urban areas. Our solution? Coconuts. Our green wall uses coco coir, a natural fibre extracted from the outer husk of coconuts. This material is highly accessible, especially in developing countries. Imagine a future that reduces pollution using coconuts. My team created a solution that combines fibre from Coconut husks and filtralite beads within the filter of our green wall to remove microplastics. This challenge fulfilled me. Not only was saving the environment my favourite part about the challenge, but the empowerment came from being females working towards a greater cause. My team and I were able to undertake the challenge within the short 4-week time frame and persevere through all the challenges, Challenge 4 had for us. Out of 100 young women, I am incredibly grateful that our team won first place in the pitch competition determined by a panel of judges, and got chosen for the people’s choice award, even with the long distance. I have made lasting memories with my team members that I hope to continue through the University of NSW.

Last year 5 students from Mount Carmel Catholic College were selected to attend. If any students aged 14 - 18 know are interested in applying for the upcoming trip to Japan from 29 September to 12 October, please see information below.
To be eligible to apply, students must:

Students don’t need to be learning Japanese to apply for and go on the trip. We look for students with a desire to travel to experience a new culture, who have an interest in Japan and a desire to be a great ambassador for Campbelltown.
