We’re back from #NSTA2026 feeling energized and deeply inspired by the incredible educators we had t…

Don’t miss our featured workshop at the National Science Teaching Association’s annual conference on Thursday 4/16 — Observation as a Superpower: A Workshop to Inspire Curiosity, Inquiry, and Critical Thinking in Your Students. 🔍

In the midst of the daily rush, take a moment to rediscover the joy of looking closely. Join us for an interactive professional development workshop centered on one of science’s most fundamental practices: observation.

We are so excited to have three educator superstars co-leading the session:

⭐ Brittany Beck (Brooklyn, NY): The 2025 Sloan STEM Teacher of the Year, Brittany integrates storytelling and narrative structure into student-driven research, empowering learners to engage in authentic scientific practices alongside working scientists.

⭐ Susan Bartol (Montclair, NJ): A Wipro Science Education Fellow with 20+ years of experience, Susan is a master at making science immersive for elementary students. She’s the force behind “Science Day,” a large-scale program that turns hundreds of kids into authentic scientists.

⭐ Ariel Raymond (Pasadena, CA): With a background in Geology and experience at the American Museum of Natural History, Ariel specializes in making science tangible. Her work bridges the gap between the classroom and real-world scientific institutions like the La Brea Tar Pits and Caltech.

Alongside our Senior Director of Education, Shannon Behrman, this powerhouse team will share observational strategies that encourage deeper inquiry and critical thinking for grades 3-12.

📅 Mark Your Calendar: Thursday 4/16 from 2:20–3:20 PM in Room 161, North Building
