Engineering Showcase
Youth prepare presentations to communicate their water reuse process to others.
Youth Will Know
- Communicating with others is an important part of the Engineering Design Process.
- As engineers, they have valuable knowledge to share about the problem they have solved.
- They can communicate how they designed their water reuse process using an EDP.

Guiding Question
How can we share information about our water reuse processes with others?
Image
Youth Will Do
- Communicate about their water reuse processes.
- Explain how they used an EDP to design the processes.

Quick Tips
- An authentic audience inspires more thought in presentations. Pull in random members of your organization, if needed.
- Consider the following again if using a different room:
- Have paper towels and a sink handy.
- To avoid stains, set pH strips on paper towels.
