WaterWorks Open House Quarter 1

UMS Urbana, IL

To practice public speaking and presentation skills, UMS WaterWorks students hosted an open house for their families and friends. We had a great turnout with more then 40 in attendance. The students prepared and presented short presentations on various topics we covered throughout the semester. Following their presentations, the students answered questions from the audience. Later in the evening, Mr. Jackson introduced himself to the families and told them a little about himself and his work at the U of I. Mr. Apfelstadt then took the stage and presented a short movie of his adventures on the Salt Fork River. Both before and after the presentations, parents and others had a chance to see the students work and chat with WaterWorks teachers and each other. A good time was had by all!
