Welcome Educators!

To get involved in one of the many programs we offer!

NEWEA also recognizes individuals and organizations that do an outstanding job of public education about water environment issues.  Do you know someone who deserves recognition?  Check out the education awards.

Mr. & Mrs. Fish Program Minimize

Mr. & Mrs. Fish are marine educators. Their shows are designed for children ages 7-11, but people of all ages enjoy the Fish shows! For more information or to book a show, visit http://www.mrandmrsfish.com/

The NEWEA Public Education Committee sponsors two Mr. & Mrs. Fish shows each year at the NEWEA conference in Boston. If you are with a public school or a non-profit in the Boston area and would like to bring a group to one of our shows, please contact the Public Education Committee Chair.

The committee also sells raffle tickets for a free Fish show each year between November and January. The winner receives a FREE show at the New England school of their choice. All proceeds support the Stockholm Jr. Water Prize.

 

World Monitoring Days Minimize

School groups and civic groups from all over the world participate by testing the water quality in their local lakes, ponds, and streams. All results are posted on the WWMD website and participants can go online to see how their local water quality measures up to other parts of the world! It’s a great interactive learning experience for kids! For more information and to order test kits visit: http://www.worldwatermonitoringday.org/

The NEWEA Public Education Committee and Massachusetts Water Resources Authority sponsors test kits for Boston area schools and civic groups. If interested, please contact the Public Education Committee Chair.
 

Engineering Days for Schools Minimize

The fields of Civil/Environmental Engineering, water treatment, wastewater treatment, and environmental science are quickly growing, stable fields that offer excellent salaries and bonuses.
