OUR MISSION AND PRESENTER RESOURCE

The mission of the Festival is to educate students about water-related and environmental issues that correspond with Next Generation Science Standards/STEM. The Festival teaches youth that they can make a difference in protecting our water resources and the environment for today, tomorrow and for future generations. Activities should educate students about water, the environment and what they can do to conserve and protect our precious natural resources.

Third, fourth and fifth grade teachers and students throughout Orange County will attend the 2026 Festival. Classes are carefully scheduled into 20 minute hands-on activities and interactive presentations throughout the day. Group sizes for standard booths are 45 students. Next Generation Science Standards must be met in order to be eligible for the Festival.
