Teacher Water Festival Program Registration

You and your fourth-grade students are invited to participate in the Arizona Water Festival (AWF) Program occurring in your community. AWF is a water education program that is free for schools and classrooms to engage in both classroom activities and festival field-day activities. The water festival unit of study and the field day help students learn about water resources and Arizona’s unique water challenges. Over the past 25 years, 213,990 students and 8,204 teachers across Arizona have participated in AWF.

By participating in the program, your students will: 

• Engage in exploration of their local watersheds and water resources through interactive, inquiry-driven learning in the classroom. 
• Attend a fun day of water investigation and play at the water festival by engaging in hands-on learning at four stations discussing Arizona watersheds, groundwater, water sustainability, and the water cycle.
