In WaterWays, students are Chimhe City scientists actively investigating interconnected problems like plastic pollution, air and water quality, Urban Heat Island effect, and marine biodiversity. Students move through immersive, interactive activities focused on water use and water stewardship to identify actions that they and neighborhood communities can take to improve human and environmental health. WaterWays extends students’ knowledge about how water connects people and the environment, and applies that knowledge to cultivate a generation of informed, passionate students committed to preserving our planet's health. WaterWays was developed in collaboration with the Wildlife Conservation Society, Hudson River Park and Mount Sinai's Transdisciplinary Center for Early Environmental Exposure, with funding support from the National Institutes of Health.
