The mission of the SCB education program is to educate students about Pinellas County's water resources, with an emphasis on resource recovery, environmental stewardship, and career opportunities. We accomplish this through facility tours (grades 6+), classroom presentations (K-12), and STEM-related events that serve K-12 students, post-secondary institutions, and/or other education-related agencies.
