NEW: Pre-conference session list and program available now. See the list

The MSTA conference is a once-yearly opportunity for science teachers from across the state of Maine to gather to meet colleagues, attend interesting programs and review new science teaching resources. The 2009 annual conference will take place at Gardiner Area High School on October 9th, 2009.

Our theme this year reflects the need to look ahead. As teachers, we're always thinking about the future, but these days, discussion about tomorrow is happening far beyond the classroom. As science teachers, how can we look ahead and respond today to the science knowledge, skills and challenges of tomorrow?

Come present, attend or exhibit.

Registration for the conference is currently available online at early-bird rates, so why not register today? If you have something great to share with other teachers along one of our strand topics, we invite you to submit a proposal for your session or workshop. (Accepted presenters attend the conference at no charge.) If you have a business of interest to science educators, we invite you to attend as an exhibitor or simply advertise in our conference program.
