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

Contact us to learn more!
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 to get models implemented locally for real-world testing. From there the goal is to expand regionally and nationally.
