What did you like best about this conference?
My favorite part of the conference was how inspired it made me. Learning about education theories and strategies in college is exciting, but it is even more exciting when you see that practicing teachers from all over the US are excited about the same science education things that you are excited about.
What was your least favorite part of the conference?
It was exhausting! I wish it would have been longer so I could have gone to more conference sessions and not overloaded my brain on Friday and Saturday. Overall, there was very little to complain about during the conference. It was so well organized, so put together, and there was a great NSTA vibe throughout the entire conference.
How did this conference compare to the conference in San Diego?
This conference was vastly different! It was so much larger than San Diego and there were so many different sessions to choose from. I spent much more time at this conference doing academics rather than exploring the city because it was over a shorter period of time. I did not develop as strong of relationships with the other participants and did not have as much of a chance to network.
