Advancing Science workshops are held several times each year, in both the academic year and summer. They are designed to be training sessions where teachers can learn new skills and bring old knowledge up to date. Various resources for enhancing student interest in science are introduced, and help is provided to familiarize teachers in using such resources. Workshop participants learn science activities and labs to do with their students. Additionally, the principles behind the activities are discussed, thus enhancing teacher knowledge.
Workshops held during the summer tend to be more intensive due to time availability.
More subject areas are covered, and in greater depth. Teachers are required to attend a workshop before making use of Advancing Science services. This insures that they are comfortable with the equipment they will be using and know what to expect the day of the Science Van Visit.
