High school educator in the Great Lakes Basin or Chesapeake Bay Watershed? Help your students prepare to enter the Visualize Your Water Challenge. Challenge opens today!

The challenge is seeking creative and compelling visualizations of water quality in the Chesapeake Bay and Great Lakes Basin states*. From your local stream to the entire watershed, high school students are challenged to tell the story of nutrient pollution in their region in creative and innovative ways using mapping tools. Participating in the Visualize Your Water challenge will give your students the opportunity to master career-ready technology skills, learn more about nutrient pollution in your local watershed and receive recognition and prizes for their contributions.

This challenge is hosted by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, U.S. Geological Survey, and a coalition of government agencies and private industry in support of the work of the Challenging Nutrients coalition and the White House ConnectED Initiative.
