I attended this conference last fall and found it immediately useful and relevant for my teaching. Great activities related to design thinking, engineering, science, alternative assessments and all sorts of hands-on projects.

$10 Virtual Workshops are back!! Our partners at the CREATE Center were so happy with the results of the first round of KidWind Virtual Workshops they have come back and funded a pile more educator scholarships.
If you are a 6-12th grade science, technology, engineering, or math (STEM) teacher use the coupon code, CREATE2021, and it will reduce your registration fee to ONLY $10! That saves you $140! These 6-hour fully virtual workshops are hands-on and focus on delivering just enough content knowledge to get going, as well as a wide variety of practical activities for your classroom. If you manage to take attend and complete all three of workshops - Energy & The Power Grid, Wind Energy Fundamentals and Solar Energy Fundamentals and attend an educators webinar on successful implementation you will receive $200 in bonus gear that you get to choose! No prior energy knowledge is needed to attend these workshops. All participants receive a box of materials before each workshop that will allow them to explore the lessons. Every year, AFA awards $500 grants to 40 educators poised to make a lasting difference. The grant process is competitive. A committee of aerospace education experts reviews all qualified applications and scores them based on their detailed grant proposals. AFA selects projects that best serve our nation’s students and support our mission.
AFA Educator Grant applications are accepted from September 1st through December 15th. Educator Grants are awarded in February. Please view and submit your grant application online via our third-party website, SmarterSelect. AFA will not consider hardcopy or faxed applications. |
