Established in 1990, ProjectWET (Water Education for Teachers) is an interdisciplinary water education program which targets formal and non-formal educators and young people in grades K-12. |

A trained network of teachers,
resource professionals, and citizens organize and teach
Project WET workshops throughout
Maryland. By familiarizing educators with current water resource issues, Project
WET ultimately reaches students by incorporating interesting activities,
simulations, exhibits, and models into the classroom.
After completion of a six hour training, educators are given a free Project WET curriculum and activity guide packed with 91 hands-on activities that cross many disciplines in the study of water and water resources - chemistry and physics, life science, earth systems, natural resource management, history and culture. During the workshop educators learn how to incorporate local issues into the lessons.
Perfect for 4-H Youth Development, Scouts, and other youth organizations as well, the goal of Project WET is to facilitate and promote the awareness, appreciation, knowledge, and stewardship of water resources through the development and dissemination of classroom ready teaching aids.
