Bite of Science

Email CEE Icon

This exciting, cost free dinner event brings together 25 high school teachers with leading scientists and/or engineers from industry, academia, or government. Teachers will have the opportunity to hear the scientist and/or engineer speak about a cutting edge research area, view a laboratory demonstration if possible, and find out how to connect the research to the high school classroom and laboratory. Attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions, network with peers, and interface with the scientist and/or engineer during the informal dinner. Presentation material and videos, as well as supplementary resources related to Bite of Science session topics, are posted on the TEP Lab Bench following all sessions.
