Southeastern Regional Noyce Conference

东南地区Noyce会议提供了一个独特的机会，汇集了职前和在职科学和数学教师，来自STEM支持的各种相关领域的大学教师，以及南卡罗来纳州格林维尔的技术商业社区成员。参与者的这种结合导致了思想的交流和协同关系的建立。来自8个州的40多个项目的参与者被邀请参加为期三天的会议，会议提供了嘉宾演讲，同时分组会议，参观当地技术企业的机会，尝试虚拟世界和现场模拟器的机会，最重要的是，有机会与Noyce社区的其他成员见面。东南地区会议由克莱姆森大学主办，鼓励诺伊斯学者和相关人员合作、交流思想和最佳实践。这些会议将志同道合的人聚集在一起，为他们提供互动的机会，并在自己的课堂上获得帮助。在东南会议上，最佳实践，教学资源，与支持性行业的联系，以及接触沉浸式技术的前沿技术，使职前和在职教师/学者以及他们的项目教师/ pi受益。通过参与区域和国家NSF会议而产生的社区意识对于加强STEM教育是无价的。与会者在会议结束时精神焕发，对STEM教育的承诺更加坚定。他们回到学校后能够与同事分享信息并获得支持。

The Southeastern Regional Noyce Conference presents a unique opportunity to bring together pre-service and in-service science and mathematics teachers, university faculty from a variety of related fields involved in STEM support, and members of the technology business community in Greenville, South Carolina. This combination of participants leads to an exchange of ideas and a creation of synergistic relationships. Participants from over 40 projects in eight states are invited to attend a three-day conference that provides guest speakers, concurrent breakout sessions, opportunities to tour local technology businesses, opportunities to experiment with virtual worlds and on-site simulators, and most importantly, the opportunity to meet other members of the Noyce community. The Southeastern Regional Conferences, hosted by Clemson University, encourage collaboration and an exchange of ideas and best practices for Noyce Scholars and related personnel. The conferences bring together like-minded individuals and present them with opportunities to interact and to have experiences that help them in their own classrooms. At the Southeastern Conference, best practices, teaching resources, connections with supportive industries, and exposure to cutting edge technologies in immersive technology benefit pre-service and in-service Teacher/Scholars as well as their project faculty/PIs. The sense of community that is created by participation in regional and national NSF conferences is invaluable in strengthening STEM education. Participants leave the conference refreshed and stronger in their commitments to STEM education. They return to their schools able to share information and support with colleagues.
