Who We Are
ABOUT
UBC WasteNauts is a solution-driven Engineering Design Team that encompasses sustainability in engineering design and principles of a circular economy. Our goal is to radically minimize waste on Earth and apply knowledge from all fields to transform that waste into a valuable resource. Our projects are driven by the coolest and most cutting-edge innovations that abide by the three pillars of sustainability. We provide hands-on experience with power tools, materials testing, and additive manufacturing. Our team consists of multiple sub-teams working on a wide range of projects at any given time, so chances are we will have something that appeals to everyone. We also provide unparalleled opportunity for professional development, including the chance to pitch your own project ideas and lead your own sub-teams within one term!
OUR VISION
To create a zero-waste future, ensuring a circular economy
We, at UBC WasteNauts Engineering Design Team, believe in recognizing and nurturing the potential of positive change-makers of tomorrow. We do this in two ways - technical and holistic development. Our sub-teams take stakeholder collaboration to the next level from Day-0 and only work towards projects with a tangible community benefit. They also abide by the philosophy of circular economy and the pillars of sustainable development. Our executive team constantly works on improving UBC student experience through initiatives in the form of engagement activities, fostering an atmosphere of inclusivity, and a combination of technical & non-technical training.
