Submerge yourself in the dynamic world of sustainability!  We will spend the day diving into environmental issues we face in our community and sustainable solutions for addressing them.  Learn methods to protect our water, conserve energy, restore our soils, and preserve our natural resources.  We will also explore emerging careers in the field of sustainability.

This fast-paced STEM class is packed with resources, hands-on activities, and ideas for the classroom.  Activities and concepts are NGSS-aligned and appropriate for multiple grade levels.

The class will include:

• live presentations
• peer collaboration
