2016 Spring Section Meeting details

Dear Colleagues,

 

The 2016 meeting of the Idaho/Utah Section of the American Association of Physics Teachers (AAPT) will be at ISU in Pocatello, Idaho, April 15- 16.  The AAPT is a professional organization dedicated to enhancing the understanding and appreciation of physics through teaching.  The meeting will feature:

A Friday evening demo show and share-a-thon

A free banquet courtesy of the ISU College of Science and Engineering

Saturday sessions with invited and contributed talks on physics teaching topics, and a student research poster session

A leaf-blower hovercraft construction workshop, with all materials paid for by a grant from the Bauder Endowment (for the first 20 middle school and high school teachers only).  The cost for others to participate in this workshop is $120.

You do not have to be a member of the AAPT to attend.  Registration will be $5, which does not include the cost of lunch on Saturday, which is an additional $10.  This will be a great opportunity to learn and share tools and tips for teaching physics and physical science.

Thank you for your time and consideration, and have a great semester.
