The New Jersey Science Convention is scheduled for October 19 & 20, 2021 at the Princeton Marriott at Forrestal. The NJSC Steering Committee has collaborated with the Marriott to plan a safe and in person convention for October 2021. Be assured that all state and national guidelines will be employed in order to ensure the safety of our attendees and exhibitors.
This year the convention has selected Climate Change: Its Impact on Human Society and Climate Change: Impacts in New Jersey as our main area of focus. More than 100 programs have been scheduled and also include K-5 Lessons Aligned to NGSS/NJSLS-S, Constructing Assessment Tasks, and Equity and Access to Science Education/Evidence Based Strategies for Removing Barriers to Learning for All as well as other current topic areas.
In alignment with our convention focus, the Steering Committee has decided to replace our traditional convention booklet with an online version. You will receive access information when you arrive at the Convention.
Please do not hesitate to reach out to us at lszobota@njscienceconvention.org with any questions.

Share Your Learning
We ask you to help us bring this unique professional opportunity to science educators.
Good news, we are working toward an in person New Jersey Science Convention for 2021! The Princeton Marriott at Forrestal Hotel will continue to support attendee safety with their cleanliness program and continue to provide sanitizer stations throughout the conference wing. NJSC will continue to provide updated information on our website and look forward to seeing you in October 2021.
The connections we make with other science teachers, the shared ideas, creates excitement to bring back to your classroom and to excite students about science.
