🛠️ Gawang Pinoy! Engineering Design Competition

We Need You!

Not your money — but your expertise and your contacts. During the pandemic this came to a halt. We want to revitalize the concept of a Philippine Engineering Contest to create a true pinoy solution. Make the Philippines proud again!

The General Idea

To create a blueprint for how a PINOY implementation of the Boston "Mr. Trash Wheel" could look like. Use clever engineering solutions with local materials — even junk. The model picture shows the use of old plastic barrels for the waterwheel.

Interdisciplinary Collaboration

Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science and Mass Communication working hand in hand in this exciting country-wide contest. We tackle with high-end AI tools the challenges of transportation costs for valuable recyclables.

• The two best mechanical solutions will be built for video and research projects
• Mass Communication students collaborate on Tutorial Videos and award-worthy edutainment material

Ask your Professor to support your team!

Final Goal

A clever DIY Tutorial and technical manual — an easy to read and understand blueprint for empowering every Barangay to build it in different scales.

• Material list (focus on local materials, especially used materials from junk shops or easy-to-get materials like bamboo for non-water-touching parts)
• Rough cost estimation — capped at 25,000 PHP
• Rough time estimation for the building process
• Overview of tools needed

Simple and Pinoy Ingenious — aimed at LGUs/Barangays to build by themselves. Main goal: make it as easy as possible!
