Well Sourced - workshop
Infamous crooked billionaire Richard Ransom is at it again. The power-hungry mogul has a dastardly plan to use his Water-Eraser-Laser (patent pending) to evaporate all South Australia’s water, forcing everyone to buy his (special name)™ bottled water. We can’t let this happen. So we’ve brought in our special team of water experts: you! Crack the code, disarm the Water-Eraser-Laser, and stop Richard Ransom’s greedy water-gorging plan. We need you to make sure the water treatment plant stays open for everyone.
This exciting and engaging workshop teaches students about the water treatment process.

South Australian water pioneer Ima Scientist has accidentally unleashed a disaster: Sue Ridge. No one knows where Sue Ridge will strike and so the famous detective Phil Tration has been called into action. He needs a team of water savers to band together and join Treatment Incorporated to help track down the contaminated plans and stop Sue Ridge in her tracks. You have 90 minutes to find the clues and uncover the mystery to save South Australia’s water system. Good Luck!

Sustainable development challenge
Water management is one of the biggest sustainability issues of our time. Challenge your students to explore the urban water supply and sustainability issues, while understanding how their individual actions impact the environment.
This workshop develops students’ thinking on the three pillars of sustainability and asks them to question their own actions before designing a sustainable town incorporating economic, social and environmental factors.

Water Education and Testing Kits (WET Kits)
The WET Kit gives students the opportunity to learn about different source waters from across South Australia and how they are managed and treated. Students taste a variety of waters and dive into the details of water aesthetics. The kit also takes students through the steps of basic water testing to see how water aesthetics are affected by the source. Contact us to secure your WET Kit.
Young innovators and entrepreneurs program
In today's complex and rapidly changing world, students need to build and develop their problem-solving and social skills, plus critical and creative thinking.
This customised, problem-based learning project for years 6-12 uses design thinking to build a product or service that helps resolve current societal issues. It enables students to develop their entrepreneurial skills to become resourceful, flexible, creative and successful in the future business environment.

Smart meters
The installation of a smart water meter at your school is a real life opportunity to engage students with authentic learning. We supply the meter which makes your school’s water use data available, providing a local and relevant area of study for your students.
A smart meter records water use at regular intervals and communicates this as data to an online portal enabling water consumption patterns to be monitored and analysed. Having a smart meter brings STEM to life into your classroom.
