The Make Water program lays the foundation for students to become citizen scientists through a hands-on experiment that focuses on real-world water issues. All the while growing a student’s interest and skillset within the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM).
a word from our executive director
We believe that by creating hands-on STEM, robotics, and coding experiences we inspire students to explore solutions to real world problems, like climate change, and open up the possibilities for new career paths.
In order to fulfill our mission, we need your help. We have a variety of programs and opportunities and we would like to invite you to participate. Each opportunity has tiers available so that we can match both your mission and charitable budget. Please schedule a call with us to discuss how we can collaborate.
