| Veteran Teacher: I enjoyed the share-a-thon events, the exhibits, the resources, the contacts that I’ve  made. As an earth science teacher, I’m really impressed by the amount of earth science curriculum that they’ve started finally bringing to the high school level. So much has always been middle school or for the little ones. Now their focus is for the higher ed, I like that…Where I am at now, I want new ideas. That’s where I’m at. I’ve taught for 12 years and I’ve taught everything but, I think, chemistry. I really like the resources you get and the contacts. |
 Administrator: I’m the principal at an elementary school, K-5, 950 children in Georgetown County, South Carolina. This is my first conference ever for anything and it’s been out of my range because I’m not a science educator, but I’m presenting with some cohorts from my district and the University of South Carolina. I’ve enjoyed touring the exhibitors and seeing what they have to offer for science education for my children and my building. I’ve enjoyed the session that I have attended. Brian Clark

| Student Teachers:
I’m helping out an exhibitor’s table and [taking the] opportunity to walk around to see all
 the fun stuf f. I’m in science teacher heaven. This is just wonderful, getting all the free information, buying great things. It’s absolutely wonderful. Stephanie Keller (left)
I’m teaching next semester. I’m here because my science teacher wanted us to really get involved and kind of learn what we’re going to be doing in our science room. This is a great way to learn kind of what new teachers should be doing in their classroom. Wonderful resources here. Got awesome stuff to bring back. It’s pretty cool.
