Dear Colleagues,

!!!! A Great Day for Informal Science !!!!

If any of you are planning to attend the National Science Teachers 
Association (NSTA) conference in Boston March 27-30, we hope you will 
spend some time with us during Informal Science Day.  This exciting 
event takes place on Friday, March 28th, between 8:00 AM and 8:00 PM. 
All of the day's presentations and activities will be located in 
Ballroom West of the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center (3rd 
floor). 

This event has been organized by the NSTA Informal Science Committee 
with the vision of creating a "Town Square" for informal science 
within the NSTA National Conference.  Informal Science Day begins 
with a wonderful keynote speech by Dale McCreedy from the Franklin 
Institute, and continues across the day with a varied program that 
includes over forty presentations.  Midday, there will be a Brown Bag 
Lunch (12 Noon to 2:00 PM) featuring science theater and media 
productions.  Informal Science Day culminates with our Informal 
Science Share-a-thon (6:00 PM to 8:00 PM.)

For specific information about the conference and Informal Science 
Day, here are some links to the NSTA website:
