Education & Outreach

WHAT WE DO

We believe in lifelong learning and strive to create a water and data literate citizenry. Ongoing education is available for all generations of the community.

General Public

Book a speaker! CAESER faculty and staff are available for any group. We create a tailored presentation to ensure your audience is learning.
We are available to participate in public festivals and events through tabling, activities, or the WOW Mobile.
Reach out for any question about the Memphis aquifer, water resources, or GIS mapping needs – we are a resource.

Water on Wheels (WOW) Mobile

Water on Wheels (WOW) is a mobile learning experience focused on the science of water. It is designed to travel to schools and community events, educating visitors about the source of drinking water in Memphis and the Mid-South, and about how the water cycle is connected to all of life.
During the school day, the WOW is available to classes throughout the Mid-South.
Evenings and weekends are reserved for public festivals, events, camps and more!
To request the WOW at your school or event, follow this link.

The students and teachers really enjoyed the experience. The kids loved being able to interact with the exhibits.

Great experience. The citizens loved it. Love the new watershed model with WOW. We love WOW!! Hope to use it every year at our Earth Day Festival!

It was an incredible, informative, immersive experience with relevant real-world applications for me and my students. Lucinda Scrivener is an amazing asset to the CAESER program. I can't wait to have her come again next school year!!
