We are pleased to invite
you to attend the spring meeting of the ISAAPT. Please come
to learn more about physics, discover new tools and techniques
for teaching physics, share your experiences via contributed
presentations and Take Fives, and meet old and new friends.
Here are the Program Details.
In February the President's Council of
Advisors on Science and Technology wrote a report to the
president titled: "Engage to Excel: Producing one million
additional college graduates with degrees in science,
technology, engineering and mathematics." The theme of
this meeting will build on the recommendations of this report,
investigating ideas that could provide transformative and
sustainable change in STEM education. |
