OUR CORE BELIEF
Empowering students is essential in developing a society capable of careful stewardship of our water resources.
Picture
Water education is key to shaping the next generation of water professionals who will step into essential roles across the industry. It ensures a pipeline of skilled professionals who can respond to emerging threats and innovate for sustainability. Engaging students in water education from a young age fosters long-term interest in water-related issues and opens pathways to high-impact careers in the water industry. By introducing students to these critical career paths and empowering them through knowledge and skill development, we help ensure a future with clean, safe water for all.
Poseidon Education's NGSS-aligned programs guide students to design effective water quality solutions in their school communities, connect students with future career paths, and help water agencies meet their regulatory goals.

WATER LEADERSHIP PROGRAMS

Poseidon Education’s Water Leadership Programs give students the opportunity to earn valuable internship credit while tackling real-world environmental challenges. Designed for grades 5–12, these immersive programs teach students to collect and analyze water quality data, develop practical solutions, and communicate their findings with purpose. In collaboration with local water authorities, engineering firms, and municipalities, we ensure each experience reflects the skills and standards of the water industry. We also train and certify classroom teachers to lead these dynamic programs, helping students build technical expertise and explore future careers in environmental science and water management.
Stormwater Quality
​Leadership™ Program

​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.

Water Resources
Leadership™ Program

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

EDUCATIONAL UNITS

Our short educational programs provide concentrated learning on critical water issues, equipping students with the practical knowledge and strategies needed to address water challenges. 
Stormwater Capture
​Short Program

​
Students use research tools to explore capture systems around their school site. With these findings, students then design their own strategies and models for stormwater capture and reuse. ​

WaterWorks: Dig In
​Short Program

​
Students explore local water projects to learn about the process of providing safe, clean water to their community, gaining a deeper understanding of the complexities involved in water services and infrastructure.

Trash & Litter
​Short Program

​
Students collect data about litter on school grounds, then develop strategies to encourage behavioral change, including a school-wide campus cleanup campaign and final report. ​

Dry Weather Runoff
​Short Program

​
Students assess sources of urban runoff and the pollutants carried along with it through the storm drain system to local water ways, then build strategies to reduce dry weather runoff pollution.​
