Description: The California Department of Water Resources, Project WET and Environmental Volunteers invite grade 3 through 12 educators to join us for an engaging workshop experience focused on climate change in California and the hands-on activities of Project WET.
Understanding climate change and its link to drought, water quality, sea level rise and more is crucial for all Californians. In this special workshop, you will be engaged in activities you can use with your students to help them understand the impacts of climate change on water and steps they can take to adapt to our changing environment.
Participants hear current information on climate science and how a changing climate is affecting California water resources, the role of science in driving new strategies to safeguard California water supplies – and how the activities of Project WET can help you integrate climate science knowledge, concepts and skills into your curriculum.
For a $20 registration fee, participants will receive:
- Great information on current climate science.
- Learn about local climate change impacts and citizen science opportunities.
- An opportunity to interact directly with DWR Climate staff.
- A copy of Project WET Guide 2.0 & experience with WET activities.
- Breakfast and lunch courtesy of Environmental Volunteers
- An opportunity to receive 0.8 CEU credit.
And a $100 stipend plus return of your registration fee – minus Eventbrite fees – following completion of the training.
