ESC 12 STEM Cohort
Starts Spring 2024
Back by popular demand, the ESC Region 12 STEM Cohort will launch in April 2024. Each of the seven sessions are independent, so you can attend as many as your schedule allows. Each session has the option to receive a classroom set of materials being used.
The cohort is open to all grades and content areas. With the updated K - 8 Tech Apps being implemented Fall 2024, each STEM cohort session will take a deep dive into one of the strands.
Contact Andi Parr, [email protected], with any questions.

Interactive booth
When considering STEAM, consider the words Solve, Think, Experience, Apply, and Make. STEAM transcends all contents and avenues. Creative, purposeful problem-solving.
Does this definition of STEAM describe your classroom, business or organization? We need you to showcase what you are doing by having a booth.

Entertaining Performance
All bands, choirs, dance teams, theatre groups, and performers are welcome and encouraged to complete the interest form.
There are thirty-minute slots available for you throughout the event at no cost. There is an indoor stage, an outdoor stage, and open areas throughout the Convention Center available depending on group size and needs. Performances need not to be eclipse-related.

Volunteer
An area of great need to have the day run smoothly is volunteers. We are recruiting a vast number of volunteers to assist in part or all of the day.
There are multiple roles and time slots available. Choose the area and time(s) that work best for you and/or your team.
Individual and group registration is available.
