Aloha from Augusta, Georgia!
The 2009 NSO Tournament kicked off last night with a bang! The 5,000+ middle and high school students from 47 states were treated to demonstrations from the National Science Center as part of the opening ceremonies.
Once again, we have two great teams representing Hawaii: Highlands Intermediate and Mililani High School coached by Angelo Laskowsky and Namthip Sitachitta respectively. Our students, and thousands of others, will compete in over 46 different scientific events. These events will cover fields such as chemistry, physics, robotics, engineering, biology, ecology and astronomy. Students compete for medals and trophies while demonstrating skill, expertise, teamwork, sportsmanship and cooperation.
No matter how our students do, we can be sure that they will represent their schools and state with style, class and will personify the aloha spirit.
Portions of the tournament and awards ceremonies will be streamed live on www.wfxg.com. Check it out!

Deadline Extended for NSTA New Science Teacher Academy

As a cornerstone to building exceptional science educators for the future, this special Academy should be considered by new science teachers across the country.

NSTA will again select 185 teachers to participate as fellows in the 2009 Academy. NSTA Fellows chosen for the program receive a comprehensive membership package, online mentoring with trained mentors who teach in the same discipline, and the opportunity to participate in a variety of web-based professional development activities, including web seminars. In addition, each NSTA Fellow receives financial support to attend and participate in NSTA’s National Conference on Science Education, taking place in Philadelphia, March 17–21, 2010.

The deadline to submit applications for the 2009 NSTA New Science Teacher Academy has been extended to June 30, 2009. Science teachers located throughout the country, who will be entering their second or third year of teaching and whose schedule is a minimum of 51 percent middle or high school science, are encouraged to apply. Last year, more than 800 applications were received, and 185 teachers from 49 states and the District of Columbia were selected to participate.
