This year's SNO conference sessions will be organized around selected "systems", e.g. air-water systems. Sessions will be populated with talks on applications, effects and implications, analytical methods, and lifecycle aspects of nanomaterials within each system. The aims are to identity where nanomaterials and nanotechnology can improve the sustainability of each system and to foster integration of knowledge between applications and implications within each system. We also aim to encourage more papers on the applications of nanomaterials. Papers on lifecycle aspects of nanomaterials within each system or across systems is encouraged. New developments in analytical methods and instrumentation are also encouraged. Topics from prior conferences will be regrouped under an appropriate system.

A core workshop in the Student Leadership Certificate Program. Participants will learn to set personal and group, short term and long term goals utilizing the SMART theory. Recognize obstacles to goal achievement and how to avoid or alleviate them.

Preliminary_Schedule About the STEM Funders Network-The SFN was formed in 2011 by a small group of funders from the Grant Makers for Education community to focus attention and better coordinate funding in support of robust STEM programs across the country. The SFN members fund individually as well as collectively, and their work has supported the adoption and implementation of NGSS in all 50 states as well as dozens of STEM programs of promise.

Are you wondering why you should send your science teachers to CAST this year?  Besides being the ONLY conference in the nation that offers the most continuing education hours focused on Texas science standards for the lowest price, CAST is also an important, hands-on, face-to-face professional development opportunity that all science teachers need.

The purpose of New York's B-WET Program is to help establish watershed education in schools throughout the Susquehanna Region. The New York Geographic Alliance will be working with schools and teachers to help them with lessons, materials, and connections to environmental organizations. This workshop will concentrate on looking at local communities in depth, using topographic maps and aerial imagery. Participants at the Mapping and Geospatial Workshop will receive maps and imagery to take back to their schools. Much of the day will be devoted to online resources - using ArcGIS Online to create maps, and accessing high-quality imagery from Pictometry, Inc. The ultimate goal of this PD is to prepare teachers for outdoor experiences with their students. They need to use the mapping resources to decide on places in their part of the watershed that merit additional study.
