A charity event was organized by the UNMC-IEM Student Chapter on the 26^th April 2014 at the University of Nottingham, Malaysia Campus. About 40 children from Desa Amal Jireh (Semenyih) and Openhands (Kajang) were invited to the campus and the main objective of this event was to promote engineering to the children through fun activities and games. Welcoming speech was given by Jordan Chia (President, UNMC-IEM) and followed by Dr Hii Ching Lik (Advisor). The children were divided into groups and each group was given six tasks that need to be carried out in 2 hours. Activities carried out were such as spaghetti tower, paper aircraft design, egg drop test, floating ship test, lava lamp and engineering quiz. Engr. Vivekasugha (Honorary secretary, IEM Young Engineer Division) was invited to present the prizes to the children during the closing ceremony.
