Save the Water\u2122 STEM Education Program.<\/strong><\/h4>\n

DILOS\u2122 and the Girl Scouts of America.<\/strong><\/h4>\n
The\u00a0Girl Scouts of America\u00a0(GSSEF) and\u00a0Save the Water\u2122<\/a>\u00a0(STW\u2122) have entered into a Program Partnership Agreement to offer the STEM and water education program \u201cA Day in the Life of a Scientist<\/a>\u201d (DILOS\u2122) as an activity for the girls.<\/div>\n
\n

\"A<\/a>The STW\u2122 STEM Education Program consists of two very interesting and educational components that will excite children to get involved in science.<\/strong><\/p>\n

First, the children participate in a field trip to the Everglades named: \u201cA day in the life of a scientist\u201d. DILOS\u2122 is designed to spark curiosity, in a setting outside the classroom, which will inspire children to become scientists. At 26th<\/sup>\u00a0in STEM education ranking in the world, we must encourage our children towards the sciences. Their future and the future of the U.S. are dependent on improving this ranking.<\/p>\n

Second, the students become members of the AquaSquad\u2122. The AquaSquad\u2122 is formed by students, teachers, scientists, and concerned volunteers from all over the world. The AquaSquad\u2122 is a life time membership with continuing water education and project participation. Members have full support from the STW\u2122 STEM Education staff, are invited to all events, participate in research projects, and enjoy all the benefits offered.<\/p>\n

The two step approach offers hands on schooling and practical web based curriculum with practical projects and research. Young people have wide-open imaginations that when stimulated with a field of science sparks enthusiasm and creativity which are the key to future discoveries. The continued participation in field trips and implementation of projects in school and the community has multiple benefits. Participants experience the power of making a difference and at the same time learn about science. Water science is emphasized in all projects along with technology, engineering, and math.<\/p>\n

The community benefits in many instances when an entire class of students adopts a waterway and periodically visits the area to monitor environmental quality and clean up if necessary. The students get to practice the knowledge learned with the AquaSquad\u2122 membership and the experience from the DILOS\u2122 field trip.<\/p>\n

DILOS\u2122 provides a fun way to motivate children to participate in science programs.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

AquaSquad\u2122 continued STEM education<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The classroom will have the opportunity to become a member of the Save the Water\u2122 AquaSquad\u2122. AquaSquad\u2122 members worldwide are given direct communication access with STW\u2122 scientists and the privileges described in the website. \u00a0AquaSquad\u2122 team members led by their teacher take up an environmental cause by adopting a local waterway. Participants of the DILOS\u2122 field trip also receive a framed\u00a0certificate of completion along with educational material to continue their\u00a0research as part of the AquaSquad\u2122.<\/p>\n

There are benefits for becoming a member of the AquaSquad\u2122, members not only have the satisfaction of being part of an organization that is doing great work for humanity, they will also have recognition on STW\u2122 publications and will participate in regional meetings and fund raising events.
