Ossining High School to Host STEAM Sustainability Conference

This coming Earth Day, Ossining High School will host the STEAM into Sustainability conference on April 22nd, 2023.

Presented by the Bronx/Westchester chapter of The Science Teachers Association of New York State (STANYS), the conference will provide the opportunity for local K-12 teachers to collaborate on ways to embed sustainability into Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics (STEAM) education.

Workshop session topics include Climate Science, Sustainable Use of Materials, Food Sustainability, Civic Science, Environmental Education, Science in the Elementary School, Bee-Bot Coding and more. Additionally, there will be door prizes and the opportunity to attend the Ossining Earth Day 2023 Festival for post-workshop activities.

Ossining Science Teacher Dani Jackson, who was instrumental in setting up the conference at OHS and has worked closely with Bronx/Westchester STANYS for many years, said she is excited to welcome STANYS to OHS for the conference.

"The STEAM into Sustainability conference is an incredible opportunity for educators to come together and learn about the role of STEAM in creating a more sustainable future,” said Ms. Jackson. “By integrating sustainability into our coursework, we can empower our students to become responsible and informed citizens who can make positive changes in the world."

The conference is open to teachers/educators who are interested in STEAM education and sustainability. To register or learn more about the conference, please visit https://sites.google.com/site/bwstanys/events/2023-steam-into-sustainability
