Students participated in hands-on learning stations facilitated by community partners, covering topics such as ecosystem health, water quality, and the interconnections between the watershed, communities, and populations. The event aligned with Michigan Department of Education (MDE) interdisciplinary standards, ensuring students engaged in curriculum-based exploration.
