Interactive Stormwater Runoff Model where students can observe how land use impacts the way water flows in our communities. Students can be the engineers, redesigning the city to see if they can get more water to infiltrate through the soil, and then eventually into the aquifer rather than running off the surface and going directly into a storm drain where pollution would not be filtered.

The BeethoVan, a 16-foot box truck featuring a mobile stage, was originally owned by the defunct Inland Northwest Opera. In October, a grant from the Hagan Foundation permitted the purchase of this unique vehicle, which allows the symphony to explore the region beyond the walls of the Fox Theater.
