+ POOL

STEM Program

STEM + POOL is a free classroom curriculum designed for students that uses the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics of + POOL to teach kids about water quality.  

Our classroom curriculum explores ways in which design can be used to solve environmental problems and works to empower youth through a real-life example of designers taking initiative to better their city. Students learn the basics of water quality testing, parameters by which to determine clean water, filtration methods, general architecture and design principles, and how + POOL is using science & engineering to clean the East River and create a recreational swimming space.  

Students also have mentorship opportunities with the artists and designers of + POOL who will conduct site visits and hands-on learning activities upon request!
