The City of Cañon City’s Stormwater Program is offering a free 2 hour workshop on STEM education and stormwater management: students investigating stormwater, with guidance from educators, engineers and other environmental professionals, and devising novel solutions to stormwater runoff. The workshop is an introduction to the “Keep It Clean – Neighborhood Environmental Trios” Program through Denver Public Works and Earth Force. This workshop and the KIC-NET program would be a valuable tool for all those interested in environmental education.
The program provides schools with STEM units focused on watershed investigations leading to action projects. The workshop provides information and hands-on training. At the end of the workshop the attendees will be given some of the KIC-NET training materials.
The workshop will be held at City Hall in the Council Chambers from 1-3 pm on Friday, October 21. See attached flyer. Some of the workshop exercises may be held outside, weather permitting. If you have waders please bring them with you.
Please RSVP at grdebekker@canoncity.org or by calling 276-5265. And please feel free to pass the invitation along to others you feel would be interested in attending the workshop. There is not a limit on the amount of attendees.
