About the Nereid Project
Our mission:
To raise awareness for the Water Crisis through STEM Research and Advocacy. We aim to provide resources and experiences to all through STEM education workshops, Water Awareness Programs and the Nereid Research. Through these opportunities, we hope to develop a passion for STEM in the world. Due to the pandemic, we have also begun to implement our virtual programs to support the community through these turbulent and trying times. |

The Nereid Research |
This research is a novel way to detect water contamination through AI (Artificial Intelligence) analyzation of microscopic images of water. As a fully cohesive device, it is both cost-effective and easily applicable across the globe.
The Nereid Project is currently working with the Greater Cincinnati Water Works (GCWW) and Engineers Without Borders to get this model implemented in Morocco for additional application.

Impact
- Hosted over 200 water summits
- Held over 400 hours of STEM camps
- Implemented the Nereid Research in 3 different countries (and continuing to expand)
- Worked with over 1000 people both in the local community - and globally
Nereid's goal is to help reach SGD 6 (providing all with access to constant and clean water) and SGD 14 (conserving our oceans). We aim to achieve both of these goals through the implementation of the Nereid research (which is able to identify microbial contamination within seconds thus preventing it from spreading through a community and into natural water sources) and to raise awareness for the crisis through a myriad of advocacy approaches. Some of these approaches include developing STEM education programs for kids and hosting water summits as well.
