In Events: Science in the Rockies Event

Not familiar with Science in the Rockies?

Every July, 150 teachers from around the world come together for three days with a team of instructors who are over-the-top excited about teaching science. The workshop focuses on bringing wonder, discovery, and exploration back into your classroom through Halloween activities, electricity, things that glow, or even launching a potato out of PVC pipes. This is not a "sit-and-watch" teacher training… this is a "get-up-and-do" learning experience featuring over 75 engaging activities you can take home and immediately share with your students.
