Description: The California Department of Water Resources, Imperial Irrigation District and California Project WET invite educators working with students in grades 3-12 to a special workshop on climate change and its impact on California’s water resources.
Understanding climate change and its link to flood, drought, water quality, and more is crucial for all Californians. Join us to interact with experts from DWR and IID and learn activities that will help your students understand how climate change impacts water and how they can adapt to our changing environment.
Project WET activities engage students in the study of water through interactive simulations, use of models, and reality-based scenarios. The interdisciplinary activities supplement existing curriculum, are correlated to Common Core and Next Generation Science Standards, and provide strong foundations for STEAM, Project-Based, and Service-Learning programs.
Workshop participants will receive a $100 stipend, continental breakfast & lunch, the new Project WET “Water & Earth Systems” curriculum guide, and an opportunity to earn 0.8 CEU credit.
The $20 Registration Fee will also be REFUNDED minus credit card fees after completion of the workshop.
