About Hidden in H2O

We're a student-led initiative on a mission to make the invisible visible! We chose microplastics because they're often too small to see, yet they can be present in the water we drink every day. Through research, awareness, and interactive learning, we're working to uncover what's truly hidden in our water and help others understand it and be more aware about this topic.

Research

We dig into the science behind microplastics — where they come from, how they travel, and how they end up in the water we drink.

Awareness

We translate that research into stories, visuals, and experiences that make an invisible problem easy to understand.

Interactive Learning

Through our Interactive Journey and Quiz, we turn learning about microplastics into something students actually want to explore.
