About the Institute:
Teams of grade 9-12 students, teachers, undergraduate and graduate students will conduct research in the Red Butte watershed*, connecting your discoveries to greater implications for water sustainability in the area. The group will also spend time creating curriculum materials that will help tie what you learn to what you commonly teach in the classroom. On the last day of the Institute, all participants will join the iUTAH symposium, where you will display a poster summarizing your research and learn more about water issues and the iUTAH (innovative Urban Transitions and Aridregion Hydro-sustainability) effort to improve water sustainability in Utah.
