The 21st Century Science Experience

New York Marriott East Side | New York, NY

The 21st century demands a different approach to science learning—and school districts across the country are grappling with the task of modernizing their science education programs.

Join us as Dr. Randy Yerrick examines some of these critical challenges you and your colleagues face, and explores the path for successful transformation. Dr. Yerrick will discuss how hands-on, inquiry based science has improved student achievement in schools that are successfully integrating technology into their science lessons.  You will also experience how the SPARKscience solution from PASCO helps you meet many of these challenges.

Together we can unlock the potential of your students and teachers—and drive student achievement in science.

We're giving you the keys! Will you join us?
