The 2017 American Geophysical Union Fall Meeting will be held at the New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center in New Orleans, Louisiana on December 11-15, 2017.
The National Earth Science Teachers Association (NESTA) and the American Geophysical Union are now soliciting proposals from scientist/educator presenter teams at the Geophysical Information for Teachers (GIFT) workshop at AGU Fall Meeting. Each selected team of presenters will have approximately 1.5 hours during one of the two workshop days to present their work to the educators, accompanied by a closely related hands-on activity or set of activities. This workshop, a collaboration between AGU and NESTA, enables scientists to work closely with an education specialist to develop and share material with K–12 teachers and informal educators.
Each team of presenters will receive one free full-week registration to AGU Fall Meeting. Note that this is in addition to the free registration to Fall Meeting for all K–12 educators with valid credentials. Applications are now open through the 31 August deadline.
