Conference Theme
This year our conference theme, "Nurturing Innovation, Sharing Expertise"
looks to nurture your passion for science teaching through innovation and the sharing of expertise across all grade levels
and content areas.
Featured Speakers
Due to the demand for the conference and venue space restrictions, we typically offer
several "Featured Speakers" rather than a single keynote. These are nationally
recognized experts on the NGSS, STEM, science, and science teaching.
[More information on these speakers will be available in late Sept. / early Oct.]
Hands-On Workshops
Again this year, we plan to offer several double session, hands-on workshops included with the conference fee.
These hands-on workshops will allow for 1.5 hours of presenter led group work, collaboration, and activities.
Some of these workshops will have limited seating and require a special sign-up process after registration.
[More information on Workshop offerings will be posted here as they finalized.]
[NOTE: Workshop information and a sign-up link will be emailed to all registered
attendees about a week or so before the conference. Sign-up is on a first-come first-serve basis.]
