elementary science curriculum. We currently self-publish this and are
looking to develop digital tools to accompany the curriculum. We are
currently writing an NSF proposal for this and I am hoping to get feedback

I've heard so many positive things about Educon. I'm looking forward to this
experience and to possibly meeting some of you!
