As an informal science center, TecH₂O is dedicated to reaching students and helping them learn about all aspects of water including their local water resources and conservation.
Starting in March, 2020 our volunteers will be scheduled to conduct in-class presentations. These presentations will be offered to teachers on Mondays and Thursdays during regular school hours. These activities are designed to bring a deeper understanding about water in the Chihuahuan Desert, in small hands on activities/demonstrations. Our hope that it will also open up the possibility of career choices in STEM related fields for all students in our community.

Mission Statement
The TecH2O Water Reousrce Learning Center provides education and training to foster the understanding and appreciatieon of total water management in the Chihuhuahuan Desert.
Description
The 30,450 square foot TecH2O Water Resource Learning Center is adjacent to the Kay Bailey Hutchison Desalination Plant. We educate visitors from near and far about El Paso's water resources and El Paso Water's role in managing our most important resource. Volunteers amplify the message that water conservation is essential to the sustainability of our desert community and the responsibility of every El Pasoan. Over the last 5 years, volunteers have helped El Paso Water share messages of water conservation with more than 14,000 educators and students through field trips, virtual presentations, workshops, and outreach events. We estimate that this has saved over 15.4 million gallons of water in this time.
