ASTC is currently soliciting proposals for 10 one-hour sessions at the 2014 NSTA National Conference: Leading a Science Revolution. We invite educators from science centers, museums and other informal learning settings to submit a proposal for one of the available session slots. The National Science Teachers Association Annual Conference is in Boston, MA, April  3 - 6, 2014.

Conference strands for NSTA 2014 include:
