    The NASA-funded project Place-Based Learning to Advance Connections, Education, and Stewardship (PLACES) is seeking formal and informal educators who teach Earth Systems topics to youth in grades 6-12 to participate in professional learning and research activities.

    The program is designed to engage teachers in data-rich Earth Systems learning through the integration of NASA data sets, images, and resources with instructional activities and lessons.

    Educators will receive a $1250 stipend for attending an in-person workshop in Tucson, Arizona from July 11-13, 2023 and 4 virtual sessions through March 2024. Fill out an application or send our virtual flyer (also included below) to interested colleagues. We will begin accepting participants on a rolling basis in mid-April.

    Indiana High School Regional Science Bowl

    Since 1991, the Department of Energy’s National Science Bowl kicks off Regional Science Bowls across the country to find the brightest student teams who then compete to win the national title in Washington, DC (around April – May) and encourage careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM).  Teams of 4-5 students answer fast-paced questions about biology, chemistry, earth and space science, physics, energy, and math.  Teams have an adult Coach who acts as an advisor and coach (this could be a teacher of the school, alumni, or parent).  Adult volunteers with varied STEM backgrounds assist with the event, letting students meet current and retired professionals in the field, as well as meet other STEM-interested students from around our state. For more details scan the QR code at right or visit https://science.osti.gov/wdts/nsb.

    Registration is typically between October and December.  Coaches may pre-register their school without having to initially identify the team’s students.  Approved, pre-registered schools will be guaranteed a spot for one team in the Regional and the coach will have until mid-December to submit remaining student data and consent forms for final team approval.  Should more space become available, additional teams from the same school can be submitted.

    In the past, the National Science Bowl Coordinators have hosted several Coaches Clinics. If a school is still unsure about participating, this is an excellent forum for prospective coaches to learn more.

    The Indiana High School Regional is held usually on the last Saturday of February. It has historically been at Eli Lilly and Company’s Corporate Center campus in Indianapolis, IN; however, last year it was held virtually over Zoom due to the pandemic.  We are continuing to monitor the situation to determine if we will return to an in-person competition next year or stay with a virtual competition.

    On March 29th, 6:30 to 11PM, the local chapter of American Chemical Society is hosting Night at the Museum: Crossroads of Chemistry and Art.  This social event is tied to the ACS national meeting theme of ‘Crossroads of Chemistry,’ happening in Indy later this month .  We are extending the event to other interested groups in the local community. Tickets are $25, which gets you access to all of the Newfields’ galleries including the special exhibitions Stephen Sprouse: Rock, Art, Fashion and THE LUME Indianapolis Monet and Friends Alive, the museum’s immersive projection experience on the 4th floor (which itself is a $25 ticket normally!), 2 free drinks at the bar, a light boxed snack/meal, also some fun activities and demos on art analysis and conservation.  We’ll also have volunteers stationed throughout the museum as part of a Chemistry of Color Treasure Hunt through the collections – anyone who finds all 7 colorants will be entered into a prize drawing for Apple products.  Parking is free.
