Approximately 1,800 students and their teachers, from public, private and home schools, attend the event at Colorado State University. Students spend half a day attending classroom presentations, visiting the exhibition hall, participating in the Water Wizards trivia competition, listening to a professional storyteller or laughing with an awesome Mad Scientist. Various prizes are awarded for art contests. Colorful t-shirts are for sale. In the fall of 1998, Fort Collins Utilities began a Pilot Water School for Blevins Junior High seventh graders.
Plans are underway to expand to other junior high schools in the future.
