The Earth Sciences Museum hosted interactive educational activities at the Waterloo Wellington Children's Groundwater Festival this summer. Approximately 5000 students participated in the five day festival that held a variety of activities to education children about the importance of water conservation, protection, technology, and ecology.
The Earth Sciences Museum thanks all the volunteers from the University of Waterloo who helped run the Museum's activities. Collectively, they contributed approximately 300 volunteer hours.
This past winter, the Faculty of Science teamed up with the Waterloo Region Museum to create two displays for the new Ocean Bound! exhibit. This collaboration, formed with Waterloo's Earth Sciences Museum and the Students of the Water Institute Graduate Section (SWIGS), aimed to educate the public about ocean watersheds, aquatic animals and ecosystems.
