ARRT will feature daily field trips and indoor exercises that focus on developing an integrated, practical knowledge of two of the major river watersheds of Northwest Ohio.

In addition to free handouts, maps, and books, groups of teachers from specific schools receive a technology-enhanced sampling kit to bring back to their schools and use in their classrooms.
Enrollment is limited!
