Assistive Technology Programme Executive

About Engineering Good

Engineering Good (EG) is a Singapore-based non-profit organisation founded in 2014. We harness technology, engineering and community collaboration to create practical solutions to support the needs of underserved communities and persons with disabilities (PWDs).

Our work focuses on two core areas: Digital Inclusion and Assistive Technology (AT).

Digital Inclusion

We collect, refurbish and redistribute used laptops to underserved communities, including low-income families and migrant workers, providing them with essential access to the digital world. Through our community partnerships, we also deliver digital literacy programmes that help individuals build the skills and confidence to participate meaningfully in an increasingly digital society.

By extending the useful life of donated devices, our Digital Inclusion work also contributes to environmental sustainability by reducing electronic waste.

Assistive Technology

Our AT programme brings together engineers, makers, volunteers, community partners and persons with disabilities to co-create practical and affordable AT solutions.

We take a user-centred, hands-on approach, starting with the needs of the person and working through ideation, prototyping, testing and iteration. Our solutions are typically low-to-mid-tech, affordable and open-source, addressing real-world barriers in areas such as daily living, communication, education, recreation and employment.

Our Impact

• 12,000+ laptops refurbished and distributed
• 28,000+ kg of e-waste diverted from landfills
• 2,000+ assistive tech devices created
• over 400 community partners served

Our work has helped support disadvantaged individuals in seeking upskilling courses and employment opportunities online, and enabled persons with disabilities to participate more independently in everyday activities.

If you are passionate about using your technical skills to create meaningful social impact, we would love to have you join our supportive and collaborative community!
