SA Water and Makers Empire are pleased to announce an exciting new partnership to deliver education in sustainable water management to 12 SA schools in terms 2 and 3, 2022.
Teachers and students from 12 SA schools will learn more about water as a precious and renewable resource including Indigenous knowledge, water management, and innovative ideas for building cooler, healthier communities. This pioneering program also empowers children to become innovators and problem-solvers in a fun and authentic way as participating students will help design innovative solutions to water-related issues.
The pilot program will be achieved through a Water Warriors-themed Challenge Course using Makers Empire. Teachers from each school will also complete the Makers Empire Learning by Design professional development course that includes a full day of professional development.
The 12 schools from the city, hills and regional communities are Berri Primary School, Moorook Primary School, Cobdogla Primary School, Hawthorndene Primary School, Wallaroo Primary School, St Thomas School, Marryatville High School, Southport Primary School, St Patrick’s School, Allendale East Area School, Monash Primary School and Glossop Primary School.
Teachers from the schools recently participated in a professional development day held at SA Water.
