Info for Teachers
We invite your school to participate in our Talking Science event by selecting up to ten high-achieving students with a strong interest in science. Please visit the INFO FOR STUDENTS page to view a full timeline for the day and the many interesting activities we have planned. You may also wish to encourage your students to participate in the online trivia poll — a fun way to prepare for the day – or to read this recent article by Dr. Hudspeth.
