WELCOME TO THE SUMMER SCIENCE WORKSHOP APPLICATION FOR 2010 - COMING IN EARLY JANUARY!

PLEASE NOTE: THIS PROCESS IS SIGNIFICANTLY DIFFERENT THAN IN YEARS PAST. Please read the instructions thoroughly before filling out the application. Because ALL participants will be receiving a tuition subsidy, it is not necessary to get a letter of support from your school administrator. Instead, there are just a couple of essay questions embedded in the application program that we ask you to answer thoughtfully. Space in the workshops is competitive so these answers will be considered when we review your application. You may request up to two workshops to attend in summer 2010. Please make sure to rank your choices.


APPLICATION DEADLINES
The workshops are first-come, first-served. If you apply early you will have a much better chance of being accepted into one or possibly two workshops. The application process will close on May 31, 2010. Notification of application acceptance will occur as applications come in, throughout the spring semester.


APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS
Please answer the application essay questions thoroughly. The workshop attendance is competitive and we will read your answers to make sure that the workshop you have selected to attend is a good fit for you. We do accept non-science educators into our classes. Please feel free to apply if the workshops interest you and you can apply the activities you will learn back into your classroom.

FINALLY...THE APPLICATION!

Coming January 2010

THANK YOU!
