Welcome to the world of Kids Teaching Flood Resilience, where youth ages 11-16 take part in a RESILIENCE QUEST with their Teacher Leaders and community STEM mentors to build high impact forms of science literacy. They want to prove that they are not just kids, able to acquire and communicate POWER KNOWLEDGE across five domains: 1) Weather Smart, 2) Place Wise, 3) Storm Surge Smart, 4)  Prep Ready, and 4) Water Safe. WHAT CAN HAPPEN WHEN WE DON’T KNOW WHAT WE DON’T KNOW? How can science and engineering practices help us build RESILIENCE CAPACITY?
