eCYBERMISSION is a web-based science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) competition for students in grades six through nine that promotes self-discovery and enables all students to recognize the real-life applications of STEM. Teams of three or four students are instructed to ask questions (for science) or define problems (for engineering), and then construct explanations (for science) or design solutions (for engineering) based on identified problems in their community. Students compete for State, Regional, and National Awards.

Join Matthew Carrano, paleontologist and Curator of Dinosauria, to explore the Smithsonian's dinosaurs! Matt will introduce viewers to the concept of "renovating dinosaurs," the process of updating how dinosaur skeletons are displayed based on new scientific findings and discoveries.

The Journal of Disciplinary and Interdisciplinary Science Education Research (DISER) announces a special issue on designing, developing and teaching project-based learning (PBL) to promote disciplinary and interdisciplinary science education.

The Responsive Teaching Institute, grew out of what was known as the Responsive Mathematics Institute because we realize that responsive teaching strategies can be implemented in any classroom. The Responsive Teaching Institute is an opportunity for educators to examine instruction from an equity perspective.

This event is hosted by the Michigan Mathematics & Science Leadership Network. 

The 5/22 event, Drs. Amelia Wenk Gotwals and Tanya S. Wright will discuss the components of their K-2 integrated science and literacy, SOLID Start, project (Science, Oral Language, and Literacy Development from the Start of School). Specifically, they will discuss the curricular units they have designed and pilot tested and their professional development model that includes online coaching.

Join NSTA on Wednesday, May 20, 2020, starting at 7:00 pm ET to explore interactive reading strategies to engage students that connect children's books to the practices of science and engineering. These strategies are easy to do at home or with a virtual class!   Recommendations for books that incorporate the practices, help to illustrate STEM-like thinking, and connect science to literacy will be included.
