Project WET (Water Education for Teachers) is a non-profit water education program and publisher for educators and young people ages 5-18. The program facilitates and promotes awareness, appreciation, knowledge, and stewardship of water resources through the dissemination of classroom-ready teaching aids and the establishment of internationally sponsored Project WET programs.

Our Mission
To Reach Children, Parents, Educators, and Communities of the World with Water Education

Project WET believes:

• Water moves through living and nonliving systems and binds them together in a complex web of life.
• Water of sufficient quality and quantity is important for all water users (energy producers, farmers and ranchers, fish and wildlife, manufacturers, recreationists, rural and urban dwellers).
• Wise water management is crucial for providing tomorrow's children with social and economic stability in a healthy environment.
• Awareness of and respect for water resources can encourage a personal, lifelong commitment of responsibility and positive community participation.

Instruction and Delivery Network

Project WET believes in training. People are introduced to Project WET materials at workshops conducted by an international network of facilitators. A Project WET Workshop is an exciting, engaging and powerful learning experience, where educators of all disciplines receive the latest Project WET materials, learn to teach water education activities and walk away inspired.

Instructional Approach

Project WET materials are interdisciplinary, hands-on, minds-on teaching tools for educators teaching students ages 5-18 and beyond. All materials are designed to help educators and students engage and explore the world of water while complementing existing curricula and meeting curriculum objectives and educational standards. All materials are appropriate for use in formal and non-formal education settings.
