Xena makes an appearance at the OSTA Silent Auction
One of the annual side events of the OSTA Fall Conference is the SILENT AUCTION. This is a fund raiser for an important aspect of the OSTA mission to promote quality science education. Each year OSTA recognizes deserving students through awards presented to them at the Oklahoma State Science Fair held annually at East Central University. Those cash awards are funded entirely through the Fall Conference silent auction. All items in the silent auction are donated from supportive textbook and science equipment vendors or from individual OSTA members. Donated items are often science-related, but they don’t have to be (remember the Xena the Warrior Princess collectable?). So bring cash or checkbook and use the time between sessions to look through the silent auction and make some bids. Not only are you helping recognize some of the best science students in the state, but you may be getting the item you’ll take to the convention center the next time Antiques Roadshow comes to town…
