Cobb Schools To Host STEMapalooza

MARIETTA, GA — Teachers will turn into students next week in Cobb County at a conference dedicated to teaching science, technology, engineering and math.

More than 600 educators, administrators and exhibitors are expected at the 3rd annual STEMapalooza Conference on June 19-21 at Kennesaw Mountain High School. Roughly 200 of the attendees will be from out of state, organizers say, coming from as far away as Mississippi and Louisiana to learn how Cobb County schools stay atop STEM education.

The summer professional learning event is open to educators from across metro Atlanta and beyond.

Teachers will experiment with technology housed in the mobile classroom of Kennesaw State University’s iTeach MakerBus. They’ll also attend workshops, panel discussions, presentations, exhibits, and informal collaboration opportunities.

Keynotes will cover an international perspective on STEM and discuss how teachers can provide underrepresented populations access to STEM.

More information about the event, including a conference schedule, is available on the STEMapalooza website.
