This innovative workshop focuses on best practices for student engagement strategies as the learner uses inquiry-based science to explore popular STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) challenges.
This is not a “sit-and-watch” teacher training… this is a “get-up-and-do” learning experience featuring over 30 engaging activities that you can take home and immediately share with your students. You’ll learn the science behind the fun while practicing how to present the science activities in your classroom. Most importantly, you’ll learn how to use Steve Spangler’s unique strategies for turning ordinary activities into practical experiences that teach solid STEM.
TAKE HOME THE TOOLS YOU NEED TO GET STARTED THE VERY NEXT DAY
You will receive a “Survival Kit” filled with gizmos, gadgets, and learning tools that will allow you to practice dozens of amazing and simple science activities with Steve during the workshop. The “Survival Kit” is yours to take home, along with a 65-page activity guide, to help you implement creative science teaching to get your students excited about science.
Steve Spangler’s classroom-tested strategies and top-notch presentation techniques are guaranteed to change the way you think about integrating science into your entire curriculum. This fast-moving seminar is for early childhood, elementary and even middle school teachers who need creative science integration strategies… who are tired of trying to “squeeze” science into their already packed teaching schedule… and who want to make science even more fun and meaningful in their classroom. Stop squeezing and start integrating!

I can honestly say that your training was the best we have ever experienced. Many national trainers have visited our program over the years, but no one like you. I have to share with you that one of the teachers who attended the training was planning to request a transfer to another campus next year because she wasn’t sure if early childhood education was still her passion. She told me this morning that you helped her rediscover her “why” and that’s why she has decided to stay at our school. This brought me to tears because we get to keep an outstanding teacher, and I’m equally grateful for you helping all of my other teachers renew their passion for learning and teaching. You did more than just teach us about your “best day ever” principle – you made it happen for me and my staff.

Steve is the most engaging and entertaining presenter. This was our third year having him train our prekindergarten teachers and we could not ask for a better way to kick off the school year. Not only are the experiences fun and full of learning, teachers are hands on from start to finish—just how we expect them to teach in their classrooms.
