About the Project

This project empowers students by integrating drone technology into environmental science education, focusing on monitoring and improving neglected areas of the Chollas Creek Watershed. Through biweekly site visits, students will assess erosion, flooding, pollution, and water and soil quality using advanced technology to collect and analyze data.
They will present their findings to elected officials, community members, and peers, advocating for environmental restoration efforts. The program fosters student agency, equity, and advocacy by providing STEM learning opportunities for historically underserved communities while building leadership and collaboration skills.
