In this episode of Sustainable Idaho, host Holly Wilson speaks with Augie Gabrielli, Education Coordinator at the Boise WaterShed Education Center, about the center’s groundbreaking new Climate and Water Education exhibits. Located at the West Boise Water Renewal Facility, the WaterShed is a free, interactive learning space where families and students can explore topics like water conservation, snowpack, and climate resilience. Visitors have the opportunity to engage with new exhibits, including an augmented reality sandbox, a snow-themed dance theater, and a “Sustainable Boise” city-planning game. Augie shares how the center connects local environmental issues to global challenges, supports classroom learning, and fosters a deeper appreciation for Idaho’s natural resources—all while making science accessible, fun, and relevant for the community.
