Teacher's Workshop 2022
​Held in partnership with the Society for Neuroscience Chicago Chapter, the NUBAO TEACHERS' WORKSHOP is a professional development workshop aimed at exposing Chicago area science educators to the exciting field of neuroscience and brain research, and to demonstrate how these topics can be introduced into the classroom through engaging, hands-on activities.

Certified teachers receive up to seven continuing professional development units for participating! If needed, scholarships are available upon application to offset costs for a substitute teacher.
