A master-planned community (MPC) in Woodforest will be the first in the United States to feature Sona Play Arch, a smart play structure, in Wallaroo Park. Sona Play Arch uses cameras to measure movement of people playing with it. It will have a play floor that features interactive colors and numbers, and spinner play pieces and LED ribbons that serve as water misters. It also will be accessible for children with mental and physical disabilities.

The Coastal Flood Risk Reduction Program is an American-Dutch partnership for research and education that was started in 2012 and then formalized in 2014 thanks to a major grant from the National Science Foundation. University students from Texas and the Netherlands take advantage of our similar topography and learn how each culture approaches the challenges that come with living on the coast.
