The National Educator's Workshop (NEW) builds upon 26 years of annual workshops aimed at promoting science, engineering, and technology education. Each year the workshop has enhanced the quantity of useful information provided to the participants while maintaining quality and relevancy.

The National Educators Workshop series has provided over 7000 participants with the latest developments in materials science while offering strategies for teaching and learning and shared over 600 experiments and demonstrations. Recent endeavors have provided best practices and hands-on curricular materials that strengthen young people's understanding of STEM principles and enhance K-20 technology education integration. Peer review and publication of the experiments and demonstrations have provided the materials education community with current, valuable aids for teaching and research.
