To kick off the year, teachers are invited and strongly encouraged to attend the annual GNOSEF Teacher Workshop at the STEM Library Lab. We will be hosting two different workshops: on Saturday, August 29th from 8:30am-11:30am and on Saturday, October 3rd from 9-11am. Teachers are welcome to attend one or both workshops. Please complete the form below to register for the workshop. Priority is given to teachers from Orleans, Jefferson, Plaquemines, and St. Bernard Parishes.
In order to ensure that you will have a spot in the PD, we are requiring a $20 deposit fee. If attending both workshops, teachers only need to submit one deposit.
- August 29th– Each teacher will receive a $75 stipend upon completion of the 3-hour workshop.
- October 3rd– Each teacher will receive a $50 stipend upon completion of the 2-hour workshop.
Experienced educators will lead presentations offering practical strategies and examples to support teachers in establishing a successful classroom-based science fair program. These sessions will also cover essential information required for participation in the Greater New Orleans Science and Engineering Fair (GNOSEF).
The August 29th workshop will focus on identifying science fair project ideas, developing research plans for both experimental and engineering design projects, navigating prior approval requirements, understanding paperwork deadlines, and accessing GNOSEF-provided resources and mentor support.
The October 3rd workshop will provide additional guidance on project development, ISEF paperwork, and Quad chart and slide formats as well as poster examples.
All participants will receive a certificate upon completion of the two- or three-hour training session, which can be submitted to their school district to request Continuing Learning Unit (CLU) credits. The workshops will also include brief presentations covering the GNOSEF timeline and details on over $60,000 in available awards, prizes, and grants for students, teachers, and schools.
