Water Literacy is a vital component of environmental education

Digital education makes it easy to keep up-to-date

Keeping textbooks updated with the latest in environmental education is a challenge and expense too large for most high school districts. The average textbook costs $75 to $100 per student.  For a school district with 10,000 high school students, buying new editions could cost up to $1 million dollars per year.  It’s no wonder that most students are receiving very little timely environmental education as part of their usual curriculums.

Schools can take advantage of the lessons and save money even without computers or laptops because teachers can print out materials at any time.  Many schools struggle with slow bandwidth during class hours.  AWE materials are optimized for quick download on any home computer.  Print off PDFs or copy to a CD.  Fast.  Easy.  Free.
