High School Research Teachers Conference

Bringing research teachers of all experience levels together to share best practices, troubleshoot challenges, and learn more about the Society for Science & the Public and the Regeneron Science Talent Search.

Each year we invite 200 teachers to attend the conference in Washington, DC, all-expenses paid.

COVID-19 UPDATE: This year’s conference will take place October 2-4, 2020. The conference will most likely take place virtually, but an in-person gathering of some size is still a possibility.  Signing up for the lottery does not obligate you to attend – if invited, anyone may decline with no penalty.  If the conference takes place virtually, attending will not prevent future eligibility to attend in person.  Signing up provides eligibility for year-round opportunities from the Society, so all high school teachers who have interest in student research should sign up!

The lottery is open now until August 15.

Connect your Students with Society Alumni

Society for Science & the Public is thrilled to connect STEM professionals and STEM-focused college students with classrooms across the country.  Many of the Society alumni, who are now pursuing degrees or careers in STEM, have expressed a desire to give back to their communities and inspire more students in STEM. Classroom teachers associated with our programs have often expressed a need for more STEM role models for their students and stronger connections to the professional scientific community. Due to the challenging academic circumstances created by the COVID-19 epidemic, we’re launching a program to help provide a unique STEM educational experience for virtual classrooms.
