Project WET Foundation

Meet Shannon, a passionate hydrologist whose career in water science began with Project WET at age 10. Inspired by hands-on learning and a shared moment with her mom at a Project WET training, Shannon’s story reminds us of the incredible power of water education. Today, Shannon works to protect our most precious resource—water, through her work in science communication. But her story is just one of many. There are countless children, educators, and future leaders waiting to be inspired, just like Shannon once was. 💧 Help us continue to create these life-changing moments.

Environmental educators are making a real impact every single day. They’re out in the heat of summer and the cold of winter, in streams testing water quality and in gardens planting vegetables, and doing so much more to create hands-on experiences that bring environmental learning to life. These moments can be life-changing for their students. Creating future leaders who will keep the environment at the center of their decisions and contribute to a society that cares for our planet. This EE Week, we celebrate the passion and dedication of environmental educators who are shaping a healthier, more sustainable world. 🌎 Help us celebrate the impact of environmental education. 💬 Comment and tag an educator or organization you want to recognize! NEEF recognizes the following organizations that support our Greening STEM initiative: Slide 1 - Students in Minneapolis learn science hands-on through planting a Native Plant Garden with @colectivabilingue , led by environmental educators and made possible with support from @Danaher Slide 2 - Environmental educators from the @watersmithguild help students in Pittsburg, PA explore water science through Aqua Lab Adventures, supported by @PPG Slide 3 - Students in Tennessee explore their local environment with an educator from @tremontinstitute through a Greening STEM program supported by @Arconic Slide 4 - Fairfield County Schools staff engage 5th- and 6th-grade students in a range of academic subjects, including environmental education, thanks to @discoveryed 's Environmental Education Initiative. #EnvironmentalEducation #EEWeek

Water is more than a resource, it’s a connection between ecosystems, communities, and everyday life. 💧When students understand water, they begin to understand the world around them — from where their drinking water comes from to how their actions impact the environment. That’s why hands-on water education matters. It builds curiosity, critical thinking, and a lifelong sense of stewardship. What's your favorite water activity?

For World Water Day, we’re offering The Long Haul as a free download on our store! This Project WET activity invites learners to examine how water access is connected to gender, highlighting the reality that in many communities around the world, women and girls are the ones most often responsible for hauling water for their households. Through this activity, participants can explore how that responsibility affects time, education, health, and opportunity — and gain a deeper understanding of the social dimensions of water. As we recognize this year’s World Water Day theme: Water and Gender, we hope this resource helps support meaningful conversations and learning. 💧 Download it for free from our store.
