I’m super thrilled to share that October 21st I will be one of the keynote speakers for the joint Illinois/Chicago sections AAPT fall meeting. I’ll be talking about the SciComm unit I ran this last spring. If you follow me here or on Twitter you saw the journey first hand. As someone who enjoys communicating through blogging, twitter and speaking engagements this invitation means a lot to me. More info an registration here!
The joint meeting is always really exciting because we usually see a great turnout and representation from high school and college faculty. We’re also able to bring in some pretty great folks to speak.
The meeting runs Friday and Saturday. Friday morning an OpenSci Ed workshop is planned. I know there are quite a few districts rolling this curriculum out because it’s nicely aligned with NGSS. The folks running this workshop are also giving an invited talk later that afternoon.
Friday evening Ranger Mike Matthes is giving a talk about the NASA Voyager missions.
My talk is scheduled for 10 on Saturday.
I think it’s awesome that there’s a high school emphasis on the program this year!
