Take Action

After participating in Project WET activities, either in your classroom or at a Make a Splash with Project WET water festival, Project WET invites you to take action in your school, home or community to either educate others or help improve a local water resource.

Empowered through awareness and understanding of water resources, many students nationwide have developed and facilitated ActionEducation projects and have made a difference in their communities. See the list below:

1. Creating a coloring book to teach the community about local water issues Kay Mastarone, South Newton Elementary School, Kentland, Indiana, Grade 3

Submit Your Actions

After completing an ActionEduation project, tell Project WET about it.

Submit a description of your project, including grade level, name of school and teacher, an email address and project location. You may include up to five photographs.

This is an opportunity for your class and school to be recognized for your hard work and share your ideas with students worldwide. Imagine if everyone conducted an ActionEducation project in their community and solved one local water resource issue. Imagine the difference it could make locally—even globally.>
