Get inside the best science education that Texas has to offer at the Conference for the Advancement of Science Teaching (CAST) 2010 when we bring science to the city in Houston, Texas November 11-13. Whether you’re a science teacher, an administrator, or even a business executive, you can find an exciting opportunity to grow at CAST. We are also pleased to announce that Sponsorship, Advertising, and Exhibitor opportunities are still available for this year’s conference.
Do you want new teaching strategies, learning activities and engaging labs aligned to the TEKS for your grade level? CAST will help you help your students. We’ve got over 550 options (and 100 more sessions than 2009!), each one counting for your continuing education credits.
Do you just want a break from your daily routine and a chance to enjoy science in another city? We’re offering field trips to the coast, the Houston Museum of Natural Science and even the zoo!
Have you ever wished you could see famed oceanographer and explorer Dr. Robert Ballard, live, in-person? You will in one of the largest opening ceremonies in CAST history.
It’s now easier than ever to access the workshops you want. Fill up your entire day with learning by attending our new “Science JAM Sessions,” top sessions for larger audiences including Kenn Heydrick of the Texas Education Agency.
The conference will begin Thursday, November 11th, and we’re going to kick it off with a grand “Science in the City” reception, sponsored by our partners at Chevron. Our 400+ exhibitors will also keep their booths open during the reception for you to enjoy.
Registration for the conference begins August 15! The Early Bird Discount is only available until September 24, at the low cost of $115.
CAST, now in its 53rd year, is hosted by the 7,000 member non-profit association, The Science Teachers Association of Texas. CAST is still planned and primarily run by volunteers and is the largest state science conference in the nation. We invite you to be part of our network as a member, a conference attendee, a sponsor or just a friend on Facebook. It is the combined work of all science educators and suppliers in the state of Texas to provide resources for the future science leaders of tomorrow.
Sincerely,
Patsy Magee
CAST 2010 Chair
