We’re back from #NSTA2026 feeling energized and deeply inspired by the incredible educators we had the chance to meet!
#NSTA Highlights:
🦠 Superbug Showdown: Our evolution board game (shoutout to 2025 #SCLAmbassador Dan Vanden Heuvel!) was a massive hit—nothing beats hands-on learning for tackling complex biology. 🧬
🟥 Observation as a Superpower: A huge thank you to Ariel Raymond, Brittany Beck, and Susan Bartol for leading a packed workshop on using storytelling and multimedia to transform classroom observation. The room was electric! ⚡️
🍽️ The SCL Community: Reconnecting over dinner with our amazing current and former educator ambassadors reminded us that this community is the heart of everything we do. ❤️
To the hundreds of teachers we met: YOU are the catalyst. We’re already back at work creating new resources inspired by your passion and brilliance.
