makewater
accessible education through water innovation
our nonprofit story
Since 2016, MakeWater has used a unique blend of video storytelling and hands-on collaboration to introduce students and educators to a variety of STEM concepts. Our project also offers insight into emerging technologies and civic problem-solving.
At MakeWater, we aim to empower students, especially from low to middle-income communities, who want to make a difference in the world. We do this by giving them the tools, education, and confidence to tackle real-world water issues collaboratively.
Where are they now?
We caught up with some MakeWater alumni to see how our program helped them make an impact.
