We are thrilled to announce that the board of the WOT has been awarded the “best part-time board of the year 2023”
This price was awarded at the MTAD award, the event with which the student union of the university of Twente aims to thank students who achieve “More Than A Degree” by spending their time on running the different student associations and organisations that fuel the student culture in Enschede.
Great thanks go out to the jury and all our fellow students who voted for us. ❤
The WOT is hosting introduction activities every Wednesday and Thursday throughout the month of September.
Yes, that is a lot of intro activities.
The intro activities are easy to follow and well prepared, you need no prior knowledge and can come by to have a look what the WOT is all about. Interested? Use the signup form below to let us know that you are coming and to join the free dinner (If you so wish).
The evening starts at about 17:45 and we have dinner together (which you can join), or come by later in the night for the activity, to help with a project or to join us around the campfire.

Terrain tour and marblepump workshop.
This Wednesday we will be giving tours of our terrain, multiple members will be walking around to explain what each contraption or building is and answer any questions you might have.|
After the tours (and dinner) we will be starting construction on marble pumps, each course taker can make their own marblepump and take it home with them afterwards.
Here (Dutch, English) is the manual we will be following, but you don’t need to prepare anything.
