Hello,
I am currently enrolled in a teaching credential program and have worked in after-school programs for years. This summer we actually taught some of the STEM curriculum so I was extremely interested in this conference. Some of my classmates and I would love to attend, but even after reading up on the conference we are not exactly sure what we will be participating in. Can you please give me more information as to what activities, curriculum, etc. will be covered, what the main over-arching theme of the conference is, what the $75 goes towards & what exactly we will be getting a certificate for?
Thank you!
