Are you interested in learning about new and exciting
teaching techniques to reach your students?
Are you unsure about how to engage students with
different learning styles?
If you answered YES to either of these questions, you will be interested in joining us for the first
in a series of annual conferences on Multi-Sensory Science Education. This year’s conference
will have a theme of teaching students with visual impairments, but also include talks and
workshops on science demonstrations, science theater, using haptics for students with
disabilities, and kinesthetic teaching techniques. Through a series of talks and hands-on
workshops your learn how to integrate these exciting teaching techniques into your classroom
and hear about new research findings on multi-sensory teaching and learning.
The conference is free, but pre-registration is required.
