Empowering students is essential in developing a society capable of careful stewardship of our water resources.
Poseidon Education’s programs reach beyond the traditional classroom environment to accomplish effective water quality solutions at schools and in their communities. These NGSS-aligned programs connect students with water professionals and future career paths while helping agencies meet their regulatory goals.
WATER LEADERSHIP PROGRAMS
Poseidon Education trains students to collect data, analyze results, develop solutions and present their work with purpose. We partner with local water authorities, engineering organizations and municipalities to fund hands-on real-world programs. Poseidon Education trains and certifies the classroom teacher to lead students in 5th-12th to develop industry technical skills and discover future career opportunities as water quality leaders.
Students follow the path pollutants take from our neighborhoods through the storm drain system to our waterways. After collecting, testing, and analyzing runoff samples, students design mitigation strategies and present their recommendations to school and city officials.

Students discover the complex hidden infrastructure that reliably delivers clean water right to our tap. They audit potable water use on campus, calculate reclaimed water savings, follow the path wastewater takes to the treatment plant and design water use reduction strategies for their school site.
