Discovery Education is again presenting SCICon, an online science "conference". What's really cool about SCICon is that many local DEN Leadership Councils are planning in person meetups to participate in the conference. Check the DEN Blog for more details about local meetups for this event.
The closing keynote address is by extreme meteorologist and "Storm Chaser" Reed Timmer.
This is a free, easy way to get information and connect with others related to science education. As you can see from the agenda below, there are some great sessions and they are not just about Discovery Education.
