K-12 teachers interested in infusing ocean science and technology into their classrooms or informal education programs are invited to follow the yellow brick road to Oceanology International North America (OINA) for a day-long professional development workshop. Organized by the Marine Advanced Technology Education (MATE) Center and Student Enabled Network of Sensors for the Environment using Innovative Technology (SENSE IT), this workshop will provide teachers with an overview of ocean science and technology fields then guide teachers through hands-on learning experiences focused on underwater robots and water quality sensors. Following a lunchtime speaker from National Geographic, teachers will be given a tour of the OINA exhibit hall, where they will have the opportunity to talk with several company representatives about their technologies and potential career opportunities with their organizations.

The workshop will provide a forum for teachers to: 1. Acquire knowledge and skills needed to implement basic ROV design and build STEM curriculum into the classroom or as an after school activity. 2. Develop an understanding of what ROV technicians do and the technologies they use for career pathways. 3. Learn about the MATE ROV Competition for students. 

Explore interactive science exhibits, learn about cool science jobs, and have your questions answered by scientists! Family Science Days is FREE and open to all, and features hands-on demos, shows, talks by scientists, and other activities appropriate for youth and their families.

Scholarship opportunities are also available from many of these schools.

There are six more Student Career Day events across the country throughout March for students to attend if they cannot make the Detroit event.

This workshop will benefit winemakers, cellar workers, winery staff, and wine enthusiasts who seek a deeper understanding of these topics and their impact on a winery’s success. In addition, workshop attendees will be guided through sensory test methods to access perceived differences and preferences in wine.

Stuart AAUW & LASER-TEC are sponsoring a Saturday, four-week program to introduce 7th & 8th grade girls to future technology career opportunities. The camp is being facilitated by women in STEM and is offered at no cost to qualified participants. The girls will discover exciting applications for lasers and laser systems and explore science and technology in a highly-interactive environment.

A fully-articulated sustainability plan may include some revenue generation and diverse sources of income. But for projects and centers operating as part of a college or university, the support your institution can offer is invaluable – staff time? Office space? Paid positions? -- and needs to be sought and managed with care. In this webinar, veteran ATE PI Elaine Craft will share some of her strategies for how her grant-funded initiatives work closely with her institution to their mutual benefit.

The ins-and-outs of Virtual Reality will be discussed, including it's various forms and how it is created. Join and learn how Virtual Reality can enhance your initiatives!

This flagship event, sponsored in part by the MSU School of Criminal Justice, seeks to draw world class social and technical science researchers together and present their work in order to promote collaboration between the disciplines and identify new avenues of research to enrich both fields. In addition, the conference links both fields to industry and policy-makers to transform the landscape of cybersecurity, policy, and practice.  The 2017 theme is "Linking the Human and the Machine to Secure Cyberspace.

Join Dr. Barry Gump for a two-day workshop based around three chemistry sessions in which attendees will learn about malolactic fermentation, refractometry, and the distilation and titration methods in wine-making.

This conference is unlike any other you will attend this year. You won’t just learn by sitting in workshops and presentations. MARCON’s intimate size allows you the opportunity to collaborate one-on-one with the presenters, exhibitors and other attendees. Join us as companies share their best practices, and information on new and emerging technologies, methods and techniques in the area of Reliability and Maintenance Engineering and Management. This conference is a forum for all — practitioners, specialists, managers, educators, students, and even the new and uninitiated.

Registration includes all scheduled developer sessions, continental breakfasts, beverage breaks, daily lunches, the GIS Solutions Expo Welcome Reception, Meet the Teams Social, and the Thursday Developer Summit Party.

The Technical Symposium is the flagship conference of the Special Interest Group on Computer Science Education (SIGCSE). SIGCSE 2017 welcomes colleagues from around the world to present demos, lightning talks, papers, panels, posters, special sessions, and workshops, and to discuss computer science education in birds-of-a-feather sessions and informal settings. The SIGCSE Technical Symposium addresses problems common among educators working to develop, implement and/or evaluate computing programs, curricula, and courses. The symposium provides a forum for sharing new ideas for syllabi, laboratories, and other elements of teaching and pedagogy, at all levels of instruction.

This webinar will provide an insider’s look at unique characteristics of National Science Foundation (NSF) grant funding, particularly the Advanced Technological Education (ATE) Program. Guidelines and timelines will be shared along with tips to keep in mind if you have previously been funded by NSF ATE for a smaller grant and aspire to submit a proposal for a larger scope of work. Resources specific to preparing a competitive NSF ATE grant proposal will be highlighted.
