  • 1.  STEM Outreach

    Posted 12-19-2016 03:06 PM

    I’m interested in ideas for tools to use for STEM outreach to K-12 students, particularly in regards to the fields of Environmental and Water Resources.  ASCE has a lot of good tools, which are more focused on Civil Engineering in general.  Any ideas would be appreciated!

    Hi John.
    I regret to see the absence of feedback.
    As you know, this is most likely still an issue.
    Please consider re-posting, perhaps with more details.
    Stay Healthy!
    Cheers,
    Bill

    Hi @John Weiland ! STEM Outreach is one of my passions so I am happy to direct you to some resources. I am a structural engineer, but I can recommend a few Environmental and Water Resources hands-on activities that I know of: 


    Hope this helps! 

    Thank you @William Hayden for bumping this post!! ​​

    I will encourage our members to check these forums.  I am as guilty as anyone, having never looked.  ASCE put together this great water resources module for the Civil Engineering Club: CE Club Water Resources Module

    All the CE Club modules are great. https://www.asce.org/civil_engineering_club/

    Last year, clean water was the Future City theme.  Many Civil Engineers volunteer for  / run Future City regions.  I run New England.  There are a TON of resources here.  I am pasting a bunch:
