On Tuesday May 27th, 2025, Ecohydrology Research Group members Christina Lam, Katie Hettinga, Tamiris Lopez Ferreira, Tia Jenkins and Stephanie Slowinski attended the 2025 À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ Wellington Children’s Groundwater Festival at Ken Seiling À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ Region Museum. The festival brought together the expertise of educators, groundwater specialists and members from industries, conservation, governmental and educational organizations to provide children with the opportunity to learn about water and its importance to our lives and communities. Through over 50 hands on activities, children in grades 2-5 were empowered with the knowledge to initiate change within their homes, schools and communities. ERG group members ran several of these activities with the support of the Earth Sciences Museum, including the Amazing Aquifer, Mitigating Microplastics, and Water Jeopardy.
