AAAS Headquarters1200 New York Ave NWWashingtonDC20005
The AAAS Leadership Seminar in Science and Technology Policy is a "crash course" in science and technology (S&T) policy, designed for those who need to know how S&T policy works. It is modeled after the highly acclaimed orientation program that AAAS provides for its new S&T Policy Fellows each fall, but distills the key material into 4 1/2 days instead of two weeks. Space is limited to only 30 to 35 participants ‐ the small group setting provides an ideal opportunity to learn about the challenges and solutions of S&T policy from the experts。

The interdisciplinary nature of robots make robotics a useful STEM pedagogical tool. There is also a significant need for industrial certification programs in robotics. Robots are increasingly used across industry sectors to improve production throughputs while maintaining product quality. The benefits of robotics, however, depend on workers with up-to-date knowledge and skills to maintain and use existing robots, enhance future technologies, and educate users. It is critical that education efforts respond to the demand for robotics specialists by offering courses and professional certification in robotics and automation. This NSF sponsored workshop introduces a new approach for teaching Industrial Robotics in electrical engineering technology programs to match industry needs and provide a replicable model for programs around the US.
This workshop is offered to faculty members of two- and four year institutions and designed for the instructors who wish to increase their experience in Industrial Robotics and is interested in revamping existing or developing new courses in Industrial Robotics.
Florida State College Jacksonville Kent Campus3939 Roosevelt BoulevardJacksonvilleFL32205
This Project Access workshop focuses on the implications and application of Universal Design for Learning. Non-traditional students learn differently, so if we design instruction from the beginning to reach a diverse group of students, our teaching will be more effective, and students will excel.
This workshop offers training on how to make educational materials more accessible and engaging for all learners, especially Deaf and Hard of Hearing students.
Researchers Joshua Smith and Stacey Gifford from IBM's Nanobiotechnology Program cover the latest research on the relevant biology found in fluids from liquid biopsies and discuss opportunities in microfluidics for disruptive technology development to isolate and interrogate these biomarkers, aiding disease diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment-response monitoring.
