The North Dakota Science Teachers Association is holding its annual conference in Bismarck this weekend. Science teachers from around the state are gathering at the Bismarck Public Schools Career Academy for the 2012 Spring Conference entitled, “North Dakota Science: Building a Sustainable Global Community.” Conference sessions will feature a wide variety of topics that will help teachers get even better at preparing students for their futures.

Gateway to Science is one of the vendors at the conference, which allows us to visit with teachers about the hands-on nature of our exhibits gallery and other resources we can provide. We are also offering a drawing for a FREE Educator’s Club Membership! There are informative sessions happening in many classrooms in the building, and in the exhibition hall, we are treated to a robotics demonstration by high school students preparing for national competition. There’s excitement in the air, and it’s all about science!
