TAP INTO SCIENCE

POWJH launched a monthly water education series in July 2022 in partnership with Snake River Brewing called TAP INTO SCIENCE. It is a free monthly event series featuring presentations by local scientists where you can relax and learn about science related to our community’s water resources. The goal is to promote enthusiasm for education in a fun and casual atmosphere. And, if you want to enjoy an award-winning beer while you do so, the Brewpub is the perfect place!

POWJH partnered once again with Jackson Hole Public Art for the 3rd annual WILDWALLS – a highly visual and interactive event that brings the art and science communities together for an engaging educational experience.

WILDWALLS is a series of murals around town paired with Augmented Reality (AR) animated features directed by partnering scientists and nonprofits and activated via a smartphone app that brings the murals to life! The AR content provided by POWJH promotes a greater understanding of the water quality issues facing our community and shares proactive solutions.

POWJH had 3 murals + AR on display from May to September 2022. With an exciting new addition, the event kicked off with a live steamroller printmaking party where a large-scale hand-carved woodblock representing the science behind the “Invisible River” (Hauer et al) was printed using a construction drum roller and sold at an auction that day.
