The 2010 ISTA Conference will be held in conjunction with the PIE conference. It has been several years since an ISTA conference was held up north and joining with PIE is a great opportunity to meet the needs of science teachers in the northern part of the state. ISTA will provide a variety of workshops. Steve Shropshire from Idaho State University will be presenting a free and exciting science show for conference participants, parents and children of the community at 5:00 on Thursday, October 7th in the High School auditorium. His shows are always entertaining and informative.
