This biennial conference, running from July 23 – 27, 2023, is the largest conference for educators involved in teaching high school and introductory chemistry in North America. It is an opportunity for educators to gather together for five days to learn and exchange their teaching ideas in a friendly and motivating environment. In 2023, ChemEd will be hosted by the University of Guelph. The conference will take place on campus allowing for hands-on labs, workshops, and demonstrations, along with a variety of events focused on teaching chemistry. It is a chance to be part of a community of dedicated and involved science teachers and educators.

The School Science and Mathematics Association annual conference brings teachers together to learn how to innovate their classrooms. The conference will be held in Colorado Springs, CO from October 18 – 21, 2023. More details to follow.

Join Steve Spangler in Colorado for a one-of-a-kind professional development experience that’s guaranteed to change the way you teach STEM forever. If you are looking for an in-person professional development workshop in summer of 2023, Steve Spangler’s STEM Conference is a must attend event for anyone focused on breaking traditional curriculum boundaries and exploring the power of phenomenon-based learning.

This week-long, hands-on lab experience shows educators how to use applied engineering techniques in their classroom. ASM Materials Camp is an idea-generating workshop introducing teachers to methods that make math and core science principles more enticing and relevant to their middle and high school students. Materials topics are great motivators in any engineering, technology or science course as students learn concepts that are reflected in their everyday lives. Educators work hands-on with metals, ceramics, polymers, and composites, and develop a greater appreciation for the importance of these materials in modern life.

The camp is free for attendees and participants are eligible to receive continuing education and/or graduate credits.

Camps are offered across the United States, Canada, and virtually during Summer 2023.
