Aqua Lab Adventure season is officially ON! We are so excited to be once again partnering with @propelschools1 to empower their students through adventure, science, conservation and storytelling!

We are thrilled to share that Watersmith Guild has been awarded a Remake Learning Moonshot Grant to support Aqua Lab Armada, a new initiative focused on building high schoolers’ voice for changemaking in Pittsburgh. Remake Learning’s bold support has allowed us to imagine a future where young people drive social and environmental justice— and we will bring this future to fruition through Aqua Lab Armada. Read more about this project on our website and stay tuned to see the incredible impact that Aqua Lab Armada’s high school ambassadors will have.

The Earth Week Student Summit in partnership with @bcmac_ @trailsministries and the Beaver Falls Film Festival was incredible! Here’s some behind the scenes action of a mixture of citizen science initiatives, hands on education and well-being exercises, and spreading the stoke through the power of film and digital media. Huge thanks to @malhari.media for the photos and continued documentation of this project. Additional thanks to @breakfreefromplastic @pennsylvaniadep and @the_pittsburgh_foundation for making these events possible! #earthweek #firstwaves #beavercounty #watersmith

Happy Earth Week everyone! To kick off the week, here’s a look back at an Apprentice Series video from @lukeflem0527 looking at our first-ever native mussel survey of Allegheny Islands with the @pafishandboat ! This was such a memorable adventure and one we continue to this day alongside @pittsburghparks @thekingsleyassociation @water.pitt @ecspgh and many more! Learn more and consider contributing to the @watersmithguild to make more of these experiences available for Pennsylvania youth and the future of conservation!

Sometimes standup paddle boarding is a stay low endeavor! Here’s some scenes of the Aqua Lab Youth Ambassadors from @propelschools1 collecting microplastics last season! Science and conservation doesn’t have to be all hard work right!? If you’ve been on a trip with @surfsup_adventures you will recognize these two stay-lowcations!

Happy World Water Day everyone!! Water has guided our organization’s mission and has been the fulcrum of innovation, discovery and exploration since the beginning. Here’s a look back at an expedition with @water.pitt to explore the islands of Pittsburgh’s 3 rivers and how native mussels work to filter and clean the water we all drink and play in here in the city. For world water day, let’s continue asking how we can be like the mussels and make our water cleaner and more accessible for everyone. #worldwaterday #pittsburgh #watersmith #paddle #conservation #mussels #pitt #pittwater
