President’s Welcome

Welcome to KATS camp 2018! Our theme this year is “Never Science Alone.” As this year’s president, I invite you to share your experiences and enthusiasm for teaching science throughout this conference and beyond! The image for this year’s program brings to mind the quote from Sir Issac Newton’s letter to Robert Hooke that has been modernized to “If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants”. Learning what works and better ways to bring the best science experiences to our students every day is what KATS is all about! Collaboration and teamwork with our peers expands our view. Our keynote speakers are carefully chosen to provide inspiration and innovative perspectives. The vendors bring us opportunities to find new tools and resources to enable our teaching. You could even win a great door prize that will make your work in the classroom better or be the highest bidder in the Mohling auction or the KESTA rock raffle! KATS is a gateway to professional opportunities. Enjoy camp and make the most of this experience. Spread the word that KATS is a valuable resource for science educators, at all levels.
