Project Wet, a program run by the Water Education Foundation, will offer area educators hands-on lessons in teaching children about the value of a sustainable future.

This is the first time such a class has been offered through UC Merced Extension Education Programs, and it takes place tomorrow(April 13) in classrooms at the recently opened Downtown Campus Center (DCC) in Merced. This is just one of many classes that will use DCC space.
