North Dakota Water Education

North Dakota Water Education Program encompasses Project WET curriculum materials and educational resources in conjunction with other water education resources as a means of enhancing public awareness, promoting action learning, and promoting knowledge through exploration and stewardship of North Dakota water resources.

Students receive water education through classroom programs, water festivals hosted across the state, or by participating in other educational programs such as environmental awareness events, camps, and community programs. The Explore Your Watershed program provides adult educational programs through credited institutes, workshops, seminars, in-service sessions for teachers, facilitator trainings, and university preservice programs.

North Dakota Water Education Program relies heavily on a network of facilitators and partnerships, who help promote and enable Project WET educational resources, materials and opportunities to be delivered statewide to teachers and youth. Facilitators and program partners are dedicated to providing programs that are non-biased and age-appropriate, and promote real problem-solving skills and understanding of today's water issues.

Online training is now available for those interested in using the Project WET curriculum in class, at home or in the community. If you’re a formal educator, an informal educator, or a parent who would like to use an award-winning water curriculum with your children, this is for you.
