Science on the Grand 2027

Science on the Grand isn’t just an event; it’s a celebration of you – the superheroes of education! Van Andel Institute for Education (VAI) honors the person and the profession! We know teachers have the most important job in the world; that’s why we support the whole teacher. This conference was designed by experts and current classroom teachers to provide research-based, classroom-tested, and inquiry-oriented content that supports your classroom expectations, your content standards, and you as a person. Join us in creating a classroom culture that supports STEAM instruction while also nurturing your own curiosity for personal growth and enjoyment. And during some very challenging times, you’ll see that you’re not alone with many networking opportunities for you to engage with other teachers by grade level and content area. • Establish a classroom culture to support STEAM instruction • Explore standards-aligned lessons by grade level with STEAM integration • Network with like-minded educators in your grade and interest area • Nurture your own curiosity and personal growth • Celebrate the amazing work you do! Registration includes: • Two days of inspiration, exploration, and practical takeaways • Opportunities to network with like-minded teachers • Breakfast, lunch, happy hour, and VIP treatment - because YOU deserve it! *With the paid registration of a staff member, an administrator from the same building/district may attend for free.
