WETconnect: SCHOOLS AND EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS

STREAM Education with Water

Water is a part of everything we are, everything we eat, and everything we use. Yet most people do not even know where their water comes from, let alone their larger water footprint. By using real-world, relevant, and hands-on lessons, we can create an interdisciplinary learning environment that focuses on the most essential aspect of life—water. Local water issues can only be solved through an understanding of local watersheds and water systems. We can change our collective water future by educating our students about global and local water issues to build a culture of water stewardship.

By choosing to offer a WETconnect package to your entire school or institution, you empower your teachers to access our full library and select the units that work best for their students.

Project WET is committed to ensuring that every student experiences water education regardless of their access to technology and high-speed internet. That’s why each of our digital lessons is also available as a printable PDF instruction page to allow students to complete the same activity without a computer.

    "WETconnect lessons give students such a great opportunity for hands-on learning! The focus is water education, yet I love that they are interdisciplinary and allow students to work at their own pace asynchronously."
