At this institute, participants will use tools of the trade to install and commission a residential size solar photovoltaic array. Necessary safety measures and electrical principles will be reviewed and practiced. Participants will also perform (and take with them) ready to use hands-on classroom lab activities that will bring solar energy to life in the classroom.

This workshop is a comprehensive introduction to experiments in polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and DNA sequencing. Three experiments are included: Alu insertion Polymorphism, Bitter Taste Receptor Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP), and Mitochondrial (Mt) Control Region DNA Sequence Variations. This workshop introduces a new method to produce affordable Taq polymerase and to introduce biotech workforce skills into the classroom.

No other conference is quite like the ASM Conference for Undergraduate Educators (ASMCUE). This community-driven, virtual event is a one-stop shop for undergraduate educators in the biological and microbial sciences to network, learn and share the latest updates in education. 

2022 ASMCUE will provide you with a platform to share your successes and amplify your work with peers who understand your day-to-day work. This year’s theme, Empowering Undergraduates with Science Literacy, will dive into the importance of developing the next generation of scientists who are armed with the critical skills needed to navigate their lives. 

This summer, the Connecticut College of Technology’s National Center for Next Generation Manufacturing, a National Science Foundation Center of Excellence, will present the 2022 Summer Teachers’ Workshop. This program will be held through an online platform.

The four-day workshop provides the opportunity for you to connect with your peers from across the United States in an online workshop. This program is highly rated by teachers and faculty who have participated in the previous in-person and virtual versions of the program. The workshop will help you learn how to instruct your students in developing essential teambuilding skills as well as providing technology related experiences to help you integrate your learning into your STEM classroom and lab environment. The teambuilding, professional, and technical skills presented in the Program are designed to be directly applicable to your classroom.

Participants bring their own experiment for this workshop. This 3-day event is an exploration of Nanopore DNA sequencing. During this pop-up training attendees will be actively testing protocols as part of a concerted effort to make Nanopore sequencing accessible for biology educators. 

AHEAD is excited to announce its 45th annual conference, Equity & Excellence: Access in Higher Education, as an in-person professional development and networking event. Presenters and participants from diverse fields, including education, technology, law, scholarship, and government, will gather in Cleveland in July.

Join industry leaders as they provide best practices and solutions in overcoming the hottest automotive cybersecurity pain-points. With thought presentations on countering zero day vulnerabilities, utilizing and securing OTA updates, methods to achieving time & cost effective vulnerability analysis, tackling supply chain insecurity and ensuring system resilience.

This conference will focus on real application case studies to optimize cost efficiency, driving range, battery health, and vehicle performance. Participants can examine the latest OEM and Technology perspectives on:

• strategies for integrating thermal management systems in EV platforms,
• advanced thermal interface materials to protect EV batteris/battery cells,
• thermal management for solid-state and beyond Li-Ion batteries,
• strategies to prevent and limit thermal runaway incidents,
• powertrain thermal management, and more.
