Youth Education

 

Are you a teacher or youth educator on Fort Huachuca? WWES offers 70 “hands on,” interactive educational classes adapted to the developmental levels of students in kindergarten through eighth grade. The goal of the WWES program is to shift students’ knowledge from general concepts to a deeper understanding and sense of personal connection to water and energy as limited resources.

Catch the Rain - a collection of interactive hands-on rainwater harvesting activities for youth can now be accessed online. Collecting rainwater has been practiced throughout the world for thousands of years. There is a renewed and growing interest in rainwater harvesting in the United States as parts of the country experience periods of drought and municipalities work to manage stormwater. Where legally allowable, rainwater harvesting offers people opportunities to conserve other water resources by using rainwater to water landscapes and gardens, flush toilets, and, with purification, for drinking, cooking, and washing. Enjoy exploring the activities.
