Each session is carefully selected for the most innovative STEAM techniques, lessons, models and practical solutions working in schools right now.
How it Works
Know how most conferences make you pick from a long list of sessions? And then you have to sit through yet *another* powerpoint presentation. If you’re lucky, you walk away with 1 or 2 ideas you can actually use.
This conference isn’t like that.
This is a totally online event. You get access to all the recorded sessions in a web-based platform. And they’re all filled with golden nugget ideas for your classroom.
Log on, watch and go. You can even rewatch if you want – you’ll have lifetime access to everything.
“Excellent conference — one of the most informative and energizing I have ever attended. The online format is perfect for a busy teacher. Definitely appreciated the extraordinary creativity, professional approach and classroom-ready ideas from each presenter. Full STEAM ahead!”
– VALRIE JENSEN

Everything is Online: No Travel Required
Participating in an online teaching conference is easy, meaningful – and fun! You’ll get access to every single session, handout, and breakouts at your convenience.
You can attend online LIVE on February 3rd using a single login-link sent to your email on the day of the conference. You’ll be able to chat with presenters and other attendees through the online chat bar. But don’t worry – no one will see you (so you can stay in your PJs if you want!).But what if you can’t attend live?
No problem! You can watch the entire STEAM conference (or any session you miss) at a time that is easier on your schedule in our exclusive, password-protected archive site. You’ll have access to that for life. So you have complete flexibility to use the conference sessions/materials as you need, when you need. BOTH options are included in your registration fee.
