The WVU Center for Resilient Communities is partnering with Design Our Future to expand opportunities for West Virginia high school students to engage in problem-solving activities focused on conducting community assessments for flood preparedness.
The goal is to teach students how to help their communities prepare, plan and respond to flooding events.
The 2024-25 Design our Future Challenge invites high school students to submit flood vulnerability assessments that investigate the various factors that put our communities and region at risk for a chance to earn financial prizes.
Student submissions are due by 11:59 p.m. April 18.
Faculty and staff are encouraged to share this information with high school students who have an interest in contributing to a more just, equitable and vibrant community.
The new partnership focuses on positioning the Resilience Ambassador Program as a pathway to success in the Design Our Future national prize challenge.
