The STEM Education Alliance continues their community engagement and collaborative partnerships with local school districts. Most recently our STEM specialists worked with teachers to deliver a Water Filtration program held at Larkspur Middle and Brandon Middle Schools in Virginia Beach. The STEM Education Alliance’s team and sixth grade teachers guided more than 300 students through the busy SOL focused job of determining how best to purify water. Students learned to design and create water filters, clean contaminated water, and use turbidity sensors to test the effectiveness of their filters.
The Water Filtration STEM Programs were developed and presented by the STEM Education Alliance at the College of William and Mary and funded through the Operation PRIDE contracts.
