To kick off the 2016-17 school year, Greater New Orleans Science and Engineering Fair (GNOSEF) is hosting a free workshop for teachers and science fair coordinators on Saturday, Aug. 27, 9 a.m. - 2 p.m. at Tulane University, Norman Mayer Building, Room MA 101. Round-table discussions with experienced teachers will address finding opportunities and overcoming obstacles, while providing important information needed to participate in the GNOSEF. The workshop also helps them prepare for the 61st Annual Greater New Orleans Science and Engineering Fair to be held February 13- 16, 2017 at UNO. Workshop attendees will be awarded a certificate at the conclusion of the five-hour training session, which can be submitted to their school district for the purpose of requesting CLU (Continuing Learning Unit) credits. There is no charge for the Saturday, Aug. 27 GNOSEF Teacher Workshop, but teachers must register by Wednesday, Aug. 24. To register, go to: http://gnosef.tulane.edu/workshopregistration.cfm.
