Julie Eidson was selected through the Georgia Intern Fellowships for Teachers (GIFT) Program for Summer 2022. The lesson she created aligns to Georgia sixth grade science standards focusing on water collection, conservation, and use.
The lesson is designed for a middle school exploration of the Living Building Challenge's Water Petal. It studies how The Kendeda Building’s design manages stormwater by emulating the Piedmont Forest ecosystem, which is the ecosystem of the metro Atlanta region.

Twenty of those years have been in elementary and the last three years have been in middle school.
