Although the final conference program is not yet ready, we can share most of the program offerings for the OSTA Fall Conference November 1st.
There is something for everyone. We have workshops designed for primary school to high school. There are several commercial workshops as well as many workshops from OSTA members who are sharing their expertise with their fellow Oklahoma Science Teachers.
State Mathematic Director Levi Patrick and State Science Director Tiffany Neil are co-presenting some sessions on engaging students in the science and engineering practices of “Analyzing and Interpreting Data” and “Mathematical and Computational Thinking”.
IMPORTANT! – Conference Online Pre-registration is open through October 31st HOWEVER, The lunch order must be completed by this week-end. To guarantee lunch, please register this week!
