Event: Educator Reception
1/7/2008 5:00 PM - 8:00 PM, Hilton Austin
The AAS and Association for Astronomy Education present an evening reception for K-12 teachers to gain knowledge and resources to take back to their classrooms to cover the latest science being discussed during the conference week. At the reception, teachers will be exposed to background scientific content through presentations related to the conference sessions, will have a chance to mingle with astronomers and will take home resources (and new connections) to use in their classrooms. Scientists interested in being involved should contact Jake Noel-Storr.
Presiders: Jake Noel-Storr (Rochester Institute of Technology, Insight Lab) and Emilie Drobnes (NASA, Goddard Space Flight Center)
