El Centro Schools host Mobile Learning Center Wyland Foundation’s Clean Water Exhibit on Wheels Teaches Students Throughout the Nation that “Every Drop Counts” Three schools in the El Centro Elementary School District were able to host the Wyland Foundation Mobile Learning Center (MLC) May 31st through June 2nd. The Wyland Clean Water Mobile Learning Center is a 1,000-square foot, bio-diesel/solar powered exhibit on wheels that was designed by a unique team of educators, scientists, and conservationists representing top public, private, and non-profit organizations around the country to enlighten and teach the importance of conserving and respecting our precious water resources. Over 80 feet long and weighing 80 thousand pounds, it features a 40-person theatre with special effects, a running river, computer model simulations of lake regions, video microscopes and an urban watershed model (that actually rains!). Students will engage, play and experiment as they learn about river management estuaries, ocean runoff, environmental conservation and more. The public was invited to share in what the students took part in during school hours. What a great opportunity! Many thanks to the Wyland foundation! |
