Dear Colleagues,
Planning to attend the National Science Teachers Association (NSTA)
in Philadelphia this year? There is still time to participate in
Informal Science Day Share-a-thon at the NSTA National in
Philadelphia on March 19, 2010 - but you must apply to participate by
February 22nd!
Please send inquiries to <[log in to unmask]> with NSTA in the
subject line. See below for details and the information you will
need to know and send.
CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
The National Science Teachers Association Annual Conference,
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, March 18-21, 2010
Informal Science Day at the NSTA Conference is Friday March 19th.
The Finale of Informal Science Day will be the INFORMAL SCIENCE
EDUCATION (ISE) SHARE-A-THON
When: The ISE Share-a-thon takes place on Friday, March 19th, 2010, 4-6 P.M.
Location: Philadelphia Marriott Downtown- Grand Salons E/F
Sponsored by: NSTA's Informal Science Committee
Who Should Participate:
If your science education work involves any form of museums, science
centers, community-based programs, media, aquariums, zoos, nature
centers, parks, planetariums, science theater, and hitherto lesser
known science-based out-of-school experiences, please join us and
hundreds of your colleagues (teachers in and out of school) for this
lively opportunity to showcase your work and exchange ideas.
The Details:
Informal Science Day presentations will take place in the same space
until 2:30 P.M. Setup time for the Share-A-Thon will be available
from 3-4 P.M. You are of course welcome to attend any of the
sessions during the day. Once the application and review process is
completed, you will be assigned a table.
Please note, electric power for each table will not be available, so
bring battery powered equipment, if needed. We will not have an
Internet connection. In planning your use of display space, consider
that there will be many in one room, therefore plan your display or
activity so that if it involves audio the sound remains localized and
is respectful of other presenters.
How to Participate:
Due to limited space, inherent in submission of your proposal is your
commitment and ability to participate in the Share-A-Thon.
You do need to register for the NSTA 2010 Conference in Philadelphia
to participate in the ISE Share-a-thon. Advanced Registration for the
Conference has been extended to Friday, February 19th. Information
about registration can be found on the NSTA website:
