What You Make of It aims to reconsider this position and proposes a way to enable engineers to connect with communities and apply their knowledge and help redefine lives for the better through micro-volunteering. It brings engineers from around the world in various fields to a platform to solve complex engineering problems. What You make of it can tackle challenges across borders, no longer do you need to organize a certain time which may be inconvenient for engineers in different time zones. Through Micro-contributions, the platform helps to shape and create something much bigger. The platform provides the opportunity for anyone or any community to submit an engineering problem which is then solved by engineers. Community project submissions are guided by an education pack, outlining all the necessary information required to establish a project. Funding for the projects is achieved via support from the UN Sustainable Development Goal Financing, helping the process to prioritize communities over individuals, therefore creating the greatest impact possible. Engineers are verified via accreditation and ranked according to personal experience. Once a project has been established, each of the sub- disciplines of engineering involved are categorized using tagging, with interested volunteers who specialize in each of those disciplines are invited to consider the problem for a maximum suggested period, defined by the complexity of the project. The answers provided are then ranked based on a ‘rating system’ helping both engineers and community to establish the best possible solution. The community are invited to contribute to the project throughout, and indeed are vital to the success of the project. Their involvement would range from the ability to make comments regarding proposed solutions, to answer specific questions about the context of the problem, in response to a proposed solution and to counter proposed solutions, challenging the design as it evolves. Keeping designs visual helps the platform to be universally inclusive when conveying complexity within a project. Designated expert volunteers will co-ordinate and verify the feasibility of proposed solutions, guiding and supporting the community, the volunteers, and the process. Finally, the process concludes when all ideas received have been evaluated by the experts and presented to the community. With this platform, volunteers can gain experience towards the certification of their involvement and achievement. This can in turn help in their professional growth as well as stimulating, networking and inspiring tomorrow’s engineers from the communities through workshops which motivates the next generation. Responsible - The platform is not resource intensive. Efficiency is key. Hence, it adheres to the SDGs from conceptualization of the ideas up to the final solution. Accreditation is verified and includes safeguarding considerations. Purposeful - Projects help to find the best possible engineering solution to a problem by involving both the community and engineers, eliminating the risk of developing projects that do not fully meet the needs of the community, of the environment, or wasting the skills and knowledge of engineers. The platform helps to promote worldwide collaboration within engineering and to spur the growth of innovation. Inclusive - The platform enables engineers from all over the world to present their knowledge and ideas. Regenerative - The platform invites thorough consideration of the environments that projects are developed within, making best use of the resources at hand, and encouraging an interest and involvement with engineering, creating the engineers of the future.
