Southeastern Regional Robert Noyce Conference 2024

Join this engaging and interactive session as we explore cross curricula strategies to engage students in great teaching and learning. Participants will also be given our digital book Let's Do STEM and access to our accompanying digital resource library with 20 experiments and challenges.

You are a meteorologist, on some level. You know the difference between a rain cloud and a calm cloud. Learning Weather, Teaching Weather takes this to the next level, by interactively exploring how weather cycles and patterns occur. Why do clouds float? Why do hurricanes curve to the right? How does hail form? Not only will you learn weather basics, meteorologist and educator Alan Sealls will share his experiences of which hands-on demonstrations really spark the interest of students in meteorology and STEM. You’ll also get a long list of teacher resources for weather and climate education.

This year's poster session features 15 research posters, both about other Noyce Projects as well as other research conducted by Noyce Scholars and Principal Investigators.
