Presentations and Workshops

More than 250 presentations and workshops have been scheduled at the Louisville conference. Sessions are classified by subject matter (Biology/Life Science, Chemistry/Physical Science, Earth/Space Science, Environmental Science, Integrated/General, or Physics/Physical Science). Sessions are further identified by audience level (Preschool, Elementary, Middle Level, High School, College, Supervision/Administration, Informal Education, or some combination of levels). Generally one hour in length, all are open to registrants at no additional cost. Popular sessions fill quickly, however, and it is recommended that you arrive early to ensure a seat.
