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.
Tour of the Idaho Accelerator Center
Continuing education credit through ISU

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.
Steve Shropshire
Idaho/Utah AAPT Section Vice President
