Program Description

Event Details

In this hands-on experience, students will construct a mini model of a community to investigate what happens to rainwater after it falls. By experimenting with natural and developed surfaces, learners observe how rain moves, where it goes, and how our everyday landscapes affect stormwater runoff. Students will test solutions, such as adding sponges or raising terrain, to see how communities can reduce flooding and protect our waterways. This exploration turns students into environmental engineers as they explore how to “slow the flow.” 

Ages 8-15. Limit 25 youth.

Registration required. Each youth MUST be registered individually.
