of the workshop (Figure 2A). Question6, “I am interested in engineering/science that is relevant to sub-Saharan Africa,” showed overthree-quarters of students rating a ‘4’ or ‘5’ post-workshop (Figure 2B). Question 7, “Iunderstand how to design with the cultural setting in mind, and I am comfortable working ondesign projects for settings with varying resources,” was rated as a ‘4’ or ‘5’ post-workshop byall students (Figure 2C). All three questions demonstrated significance between pre- and post-workshop responses.Figure 2. Bar charts representing the ratings (1-5) given to the questions (A) “I am interested indoing engineering/science that is relevant to global problems,” (B) “I am interested inengineering/science that is relevant to sub
