Program Description

Event Details

We are all drawn to water, but sometimes we harm what we love. In this program, you'll make simulated systems and conduct qualitative water tests to evaluate the health of a water environment. Working to reduce our impacts has resulted in many new materials and design applications; we'll also will learn about these and how to apply them to reduce impacts in our community.

This program is sponsored by the Friends of the Southbury Public Library and is a part of our 2022 Teen Summer Reading Program: Beyond the Beaten Path. Find out more about our summer reading program here!
