Our conference theme is “Making Waves: Moving Science Education Forward!” We hope you’ll join us in this work to cham- pion science in our communities and connect with fellow science educators as we learn together . Our conference strands are based on needs we’ve heard from teachers across Wisconsin and beyond: • Buoying Up Literacy with Science focuses on connections between science and literacy, particularly at the elementary level . • Navigating STEM Through the NGSS focuses on how 3-D science is a core part of a STEM or makerspace initiative, particularly with the connec- tions to engineering inherent to the NGSS . • Preparing All Students for the Voyage focuses on strategies to equitably engage all students in authentic science experiences . In the words of famous former Green Bay Packers coach Vince Lombardi, Left to Right: Kevin Anderson, Michelle Griffin-Wenzel, and Ray Scolavino “People who work together will win, whether it be against complex football defenses, or the problems of modern society ”. Let’s work together Novem- ber 9–11 in Milwaukee! 2017 Milwaukee Area Conference Committee Leaders Kevin Anderson, Ray Scolavino, and Michelle Griffin-Wenzel Milwaukee Conference Committee We at NSTA wish to express our heartfelt thanks to the members of the Wisconsin Society of Science Teachers for the many hours of time they volunteered in planning this conference .

Through this pilot, a seven resources available to clean up brownfields properties, acre site was assessed and cleaned up, 141 jobs revitalize our communities, create new economic were created, and two sites were created for healthy opportunities, and improve our nation’s environment new businesses.

  • Christmas in Boston in 2020
    Worldcon 76 in San Jose FANNISH INQUISITION QUESTIONNAIRE What is the name of your bid? Boston in 2020 Christmas Worldcon Bid Who will represent your bid at Worldcon 76? The usual elves will be there, including our Moral Compass. What are the proposed dates for which you are bidding? Wednesday 12/23/20 - Thursday 12/31/20. We have some spectacular plans for the Dead Dog and Old Pharts' Parties! What is your proposed convention host city? Boston! Sheesh, y'all ask this every year... Is your convention site in a city center location or a suburb? If a suburb, what are the transport options into the city center? We are still focused on the Boston Common Garage. As to transportation options, there’s public transit, and unlike DC, it doesn’t usually catch on fire. How far is the site from the city center? We’re still trying to figure out how to calculate that in Smoots. Math is hard. What is the typical current airfare to your closest airport from world cities such as London, Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, Melbourne? It all depends on whether you wish to fly economy, business, or first class. Non-stop or with stops. Checking luggage or carry-on only. Do you have a special credit card that gets you an extra bag? Are you planning for carry-on but end up bringing a Hugo Award so TSA makes you check your bag? Will this be your mileage run to keep frequent flyer status at the end of the year? Honestly, that's a lot of choices and we don't have time to figure it all out.
