Our 2025 Water Fair project was an event cultivated to expose K-8 students with water conservation practices. The goal was to ensure that students could go home with an idea on how to perform these practices. More specifically, my part in this research was to investigate the methods that organizations use to inform the public about water conservation. This process took about approximately a month to interview and decode them. With that being said, I was able to interview 3 staff members in the education department about the methods that they use. They began to explain their relationship between local school districts as it regards teaching science curriculum. Furthermore, staff members shared that they supply teachers with materials such as soil to help immerse students into the learning experience. Through this process, I was able to create a thematic analysis based off the words that were repeated the most. This allowed for me to understand the importance in  Just like the National Great River Center, we were able to apply these same engaging techniques to our 2025 Water Fair. We had four stations where students were able to take different things from. Ultimately, the experience allowed for students to take away positive water conservation practice that can be applied to daily life.
