# **Background** #
MakeWater is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization with a mission “to empower students who want to make a difference in the world by giving them the tools and education to tackle real world water issues collaboratively.” Using a unique blend of STEAM education, experiential and hands-on learning modules, and data-sharing, MakeWater prepares K-12 students to contribute knowledge and solutions that solve real-world climate challenges. 

MakeWater charges student teams with assembling - and improving or redesigning- a water purification system utilizing electrocoagulation. The Intro Kit creates a system using materials commonly found and that fit in a #10 envelope, while the Advanced Kit includes arduino hardware that fit within a standard mason jar. Both kits include digital curricula and learning modules that can be accessed anywhere. The program integrates STEAM concepts while focusing on real-world applications of these concepts and water systems to address real climate challenges, and inspires students to work toward climate solutions as citizen-scientists.
