The Science Teachers' Forum is an open forum aimed at senior grade educators of science, technology, biology, geography and mathematics. The educators meet to share their ideas and discuss issues and difficulties encountered in the classroom. Selected purveyors of school-related science educational aids are also invited to demonstrate their latest equipment available in the market.
The sessions cover a variety of topics, but each will be different. Educators may attend as many sessions as they are able to.
