The NASA Educator Professional Development Collaborative
at Texas State University is providing a 4-day PD institute (June 25-28, 2018).

Join NASA Langley Research Center's Office of Education and South Carolina Network of States Task Force for an educator professional development (EPD) institute hosted by Orangeburg-Calhoun Technical College (see attached campus map). Come and learn about NASA research, STEM workforce connections, and grant writing tips for classroom technology. Educators will engage in inquiry/problem-based learning activities that cover Earth science, landforms, and force/motion/energy topics. Attendees will take back hands-on activities for students that connect STEM content with NASA's innovative work.

Registration is limited and will close one week prior to the institute's start date (registration closes June 18, 2018).

This educational activity aligns to NASA Education API 2.4.2 (Continue to support STEM educators through the delivery of NASA Education content and engagement in educator professional development opportunities).
