NSTA Institute Symposia by NASA, NSTA Press Authors Highlight
Hartford In-Depth Session Choices 

One of the most popular features of an NSTA convention is the
opportunity for science educators to register for an impressive array
of extended sessions that examine a particular topic in greater depth
for a concentrated learning experience. 

Among this group are several NSTA Institute Symposia. Presented under
the banner of the NSTA Institute, these special events are noteworthy
as they extend beyond the 4-1/2 hour face-to-face sessions to involve
participants in a blended professional development experience that
includes several follow-up online experiences (NSTA Web Seminars) in
ensuing months, extending interactivity with presenters beyond the
convention session. 

Three NSTA Institute Symposia will be presented at the Hartford
Convention (October 20-22): Doing Good Science (SC-4) presented on
October 21 for middle-school educators by the authors of an NSTA
Press book on the subject; Preparing for the Journey to Space (SC-8),
presented by NASA on October 21; and Watershed Dynamics (SC-12)
presented on October 22 by the Environmental Inquiry Team authors of
an NSTA Press book of the same title in the Cornell Scientific
Inquiry Series. 

All three Symposia are half-day sessions and require separate
registration and fee.
