About Science Council Conferences

The ATA Science Council provides a world class conference every year, offering sessions and workshops for science teachers of all grade levels. Many sessions are given by the top educators from this fine province of Alberta so they have a great working knowledge of the Alberta Curriculum. We often feature high profile Canadian keynote speakers such as David Suzuki, Bob MacDonald, Chris Hadfield and many others providing science educators with knowledge and inspiration to take right back into the classroom.
