CA NGSS STEM Conferences
Presented by the Exploratorium’s Teacher Institute, the Institute for Inquiry, and the Tinkering Studio
Are you wondering how to integrate the California Next Generation Science Standards (CA NGSS) into your classroom? The Exploratorium’s daylong conferences feature a plenary session, a choice of three hands-on workshops, and activities teachers can use in their classrooms to engage students in CA NGSS learning experiences. Lunch is included, and teachers leave with handouts of the activities covered in all of the sessions. One (1) semester-unit of Continuing Education credit is also available for an additional fee (to be paid at the conference).
