ITEEA 2016 Conference
National Harbor
Washington, DC
March 2-4, 2016

2016 Conference Theme:
COLLABORATING TO BUILD A DIVERSE STEM-LITERATE SOCIETY

The annual ITEEA conference provides an unparalleled opportunity for technology and engineering educators to gain comprehensive professional development and networking experiences.

ITEEA members pay a reduced rate to attend and can choose from dozens of interest sessions, workshops, and social events. This is a unique opportunity to learn from and share with other technology and engineering STEM education professionals in a variety of formats.

Applications should emphasize how collaboration at all levels enhances educator knowledge and student learning in order to support a diverse STEM-literate society. Applicants should show how their presentation makes a connection to one or more of the four strands as well as provide practical resources for teachers.

Collaboration implies letting your guard down and opening yourself to other ideas. In a society that may be getting more isolated due to technology, the technology and engineering teacher has a wonderful structure for increasing collaboration at all levels, thereby deepening student exposure to the positive outcomes of cooperation and collaboration. The 2016 DC Conference theme and strands were chosen to provide a vehicle for educators to present their creative ideas on collaboration.
