Risk & Novelty

Collaboration & Engagement

Efficiency & Effectiveness

Transferability & Scalability

• Risk: Public not knowing polluted waters• Sci/tech translated to public/non-tech, nationally• First EPA plain-English water pollutant descriptions• Among first EPA platform-independent websites, kiosks

• All existing EPA data, architecture, services• Cost-free public outreach for 50 states• Non-tech press coverage (3 million+ Google hits) showed ‘they get it’

• All states data• Engagement: what’s being done, how you can help• Kiosk partners NOAA, Smithsonian, museums • Multi-skilled team product (coding, science, outreach, web design)

• Model for science agencies to achieve vital public outreach more clearly• Design elements being adopted in tech database revisions• Plain English writeups used by educators
