Mark your calendars! This very popular annual tradition on the official first day back is a great chance to relax, get some resources, and connect with science colleagues. We start all together at 4pm with introductions, highlights of the coming year, and interactive science activities that are fun for us and usable with students. At 5pm, you have a choice of workshops targeted to novice and veteran teachers. And at 6pm, the fabulous BBQ feast (with vegetarian options) is a great time to network and relax with a truly exceptional community of educators.
