Is it madness to give away $150,000 worth of science equipment and supplies? No way! Cheryl A. Miller, a high school science department chair from Murrieta, California, was one of four winners in NSTA’s Ultimate Science Giveaway. Miller said winning a slew of prizes donated by exhibitors—including a trip for two to Costa Rica—made the money she spent to come to Boston all worthwhile.
I’ve seen and met a lot of happy teachers during the conference, but I nominate Cheryl as the happiest. I think she will be smiling in her sleep tonight!
