The goal for this facility is to demonstrate nationally how a public school can integrate the local environment into all aspects of their K – 12 curriculums. This facility and its programs will improve standardized test scores, and increase excitement among the students about their education. Another goal is to promote leadership, and establish a learning environment that motivates all students to attain and apply the knowledge and skills in mathematics and science necessary to meet the challenges of a modern, technological society.The water-based theme of this center allows the teacher and student to break the paradigm of activities that have simple, predetermined answers, and substitute real situations with real problems that may have complex solutions. Though complex, these rich experiences allow the student to emerge with a realization of the applicability of science to the real world. In this time of tight budgets, the development of a new facility will financially tax any district, hence the need for external monies that will aid us in realizing our vision, which will allow students and teachers to immerse themselves in the experiential learning.
