Welcome to the 2024 Texas Children in Nature Network Summit held in Waco, Texas!

After registering for the Summit and making your Wednesday Workshop selection, you will be enrolled in your selected workshop by TCiNN staff. You will see your workshop on your schedule after you have been enrolled.

  • You do not need to select and add your workshop to your schedule.
  • All workshops are "frozen" and only staff can manage enrollment.
  • If you do not see a workshop option on the registration form that is listed on the workshop PDF, that means it is full and no longer available.

Promoting Flood Awareness through Engaging STEM Programs for Community and Environmental Connection
Thursday December 12, 2024 10:30am - 11:30am CST
Texas South 116
Join us for an inspiring session showcasing an innovative nature-based STEM program that incorporates flood safety awareness into an exciting educational journey. In 2023, the San Antonio River Authority’s Education team developed programming to inspire youth living in Flash Flood Alley through positive, hands-on, and place-based activities. Students explored their watershed, assessed flood prevention infrastructure, and learned how STEM protects communities. This program ignites a passion for STEM, encouraging young leaders to develop solutions that preserve natural spaces and places. We’ll share best practices, tools, and resources, and invite participants to discuss their challenges and solutions for implementing impactful programs.
