Birmingham Urban Watershed STEM Initiative
(BUWSI)
In 2022, the Southern Environmental Center (SEC) helped secure a $1.3 million National Academies of Science grant to incorporate environmental justice and climate change into teaching modules for schools in Mobile. A pilot version, the Birmingham Urban Watershed STEM Initiative (BUWSI), was introduced for 11 Birmingham City Schools located within the Village Creek watershed in 2024. While the closing of BSC represents an enormous loss to the community, the merger of the SEC and BUWSI program with AEC will allow these STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) programs for Birmingham City Schools to move forward to continue, and in fact, expand.
