The New Jersey Science Convention is the best professional development opportunity in the Mid-Atlantic area for science educators, including teachers, administrators, and student interns.
This two-day Convention allows more teachers to attend at least one day of activities without burdening the school districts with excessive absence. Each day has over seventy-five sessions of interest to all levels and disciplines in science, as well as over fifty-five vendors of science books, supplies, and equipment.
