Become a water engineer! Learn why wetlands are important and what organisms live there. Practice engineering skills by constructing watershed models with our hands-on stream tables. Search for aquatic critters in water samples from Lake James waterways.

A sensory-friendly toolkit will be available for participants to use during the program as needed. This event is part of the 2025 NC Science Festival.

Meet the Program Lead at the back patio of the Visitors Center in the Paddy’s Creek Area.
