About the Learning Experience
About the Learning Experience
Students stepped into the role of Clean Water Innovators, addressing water quality challenges heightened by recent flooding. They explored water treatment through site visits, testing, and a virtual field trip with community partners. Hands-on activities included designing infographics, deconstructing a LifeStraw, and experimenting with water purification. By applying STEM skills, teamwork, and problem-solving, students prototyped filtration solutions and presented their designs, fostering environmental awareness and real-world problem-solving for a sustainable future.
