The family-friendly concert features water-themed compositions in a range of musical styles, from Handel and Mendelssohn, to Strauss, Disney and more. CI-WATER will be on hand to share information about water resources and conservation.  

Tickets may be purchased at the door of the Murray High School Auditorium, 5440 South State Street, Murray. $6 general admission, children under 10 free.

Teachers will have the opportunity to learn about CI-WATER resources for education on Thursday, May 8 with a free webinar from project partner Utah Education Network (UEN). The webinar is part of UEN’s weekly Faculty Lounge web series, which lets teachers learn about the latest in education technology from their own computers. Delivered via Adobe Connect, the webinars are archived, so teachers who can’t participate in the live event can view the content on their own schedules.

High school students have until April 30 to create and exhibit their apps for mobile devices, tablets or computers as part of the U.S. Congressional STEM competition, “House App Challenge.” Don’t have time to perfect that app by the end of this month?
