Forward Education Products for This Grant
These kits align to the learning outcomes this program funds.
- Coding for Climate Kit — Environmental science and coding curriculum for watershed education. Students code sensors to collect environmental data — a direct fit for NOAA's experiential, place-based learning model.
- CHARGE Climate Sensor — Hands-on climate sensor for field-based environmental data collection. Students can measure temperature, humidity, and other variables during watershed site visits.
- Smart Hydroponics Kit — Connects water use, food systems, and environmental science to hands-on computing. Excellent supplement for watershed education programs in Georgia schools.
Keep in Mind
Georgia is served by NOAA's Southeast B-WET program, which focuses on Gulf Coast, Atlantic Coast, and Appalachian watershed systems. Connect your program to one of Georgia's specific watershed systems (Chattahoochee, Okefenokee, coastal estuaries).
B-WET grants require meaningful, measurable watershed experiences for students in the field — not just classroom instruction. Your program must include real site visits and student data collection outdoors.
