Most of our sessions will be held inside the beautiful, air-conditioned venue, providing a comfortable environment to learn and collaborate. If you enjoy learning outdoors, you'll also have the opportunity to choose from several sessions set in the natural surroundings of Austin Cary Forest. At each session time, you can select the indoor or outdoor option that best fits your interests.
Breakfast (provided by STEM2Hub) and lunch (provided by hand2mind) are included, so all you need to bring is yourself and your enthusiasm for STEM!
We still have room for more attendees, so invite a fellow educator to register and carpool with you. It's a great opportunity to spend the day learning together, sharing ideas, and making new connections.
