SUMMARY:National Association of Biology Teachers Professional Development Conference
DESCRIPTION:In collaboration with CDP 2015 Alumna Tom Freeman\, BTI will present the Algae to Energy: Optimizing Systems workshop at the 2016 NABT Professional Development Conference. \nThis workshop will be held at the Denver Sheraton Downtown – Plaza Court 6 from 9:00–10:15 AM on Saturday\, November 5. \nWorkshop Description: \nThe planet is in urgent need of a new source of liquid transportation fuel to meet energy demands\, which are growing faster than researchers can develop renewable technologies! \nScientists are looking at algae as an efficient\, renewable source of fuel. Some algae can accumulate up to 75 percent of their bodyweight as oil and others can double their size in a matter of hours. Some algae can be grown in saltwater\, while others can thrive in municipal wastewater. Still\, challenges remain for optimizing systems for growth\, harvest\, and conversion to biofuel and other valuable bioproducts. \nIn this workshop\, teachers will learn about the potential for using algae as a source of biofuel\, and how a classroom lab activity to engineer growth systems can be used to teach about renewable energy\, genetic engineering\, photosynthesis\, experiment design\, and more.

SUMMARY:Fall STEM Teacher Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Join scientists and educators at BTI for the Fall STEM Teacher Workshop on October 7–8! \nTeachers will join BTI educators and scientists for this weekend workshop to discover and create effective plant biology curriculum. \nHosted by BTI’s Education and Outreach Programs\, this 1.5-day workshop will highlight topics studied in BTI research labs. This workshop is an opportunity for teachers (Grades 7–12 and Community College) to learn from expert researchers in plant science\, work with BTI to develop new classroom materials in collaboration with other STEM educators\, and provide feedback about BTI classroom labs and professional programs. You will experience hands-on lab activities and curriculum design\, tours of the research labs\, seminars with BTI faculty\, and plenty of time to collaborate with your fellow teachers. \nDue to the short length of this workshop\, this opportunity is most suitable for teachers based in New York State or within about a 200-mile radius of Ithaca. Participants can receive up to $200 to offset the costs of travel. \nApply for this workshop here.
