 For some new perspectives on making your programs and exhibits more 
 relevant to K-12 teachers and students, join AAAS Project 2061â??s 
 workshop designed especially for science center and museum staff who 
 work with school-based audiences. Youâ??ll learn how to use the Atlas of 
 Science Literacy progression-of-understanding maps and other Project 
 2061 resources to view your programs and exhibits through a new lens. 
 
 Project 2061â??s two-volume Atlas is an innovative resource that presents 
 nearly 100 strand maps that display conceptual, developmental, and 
 thematic connections among the ideas and skills that all students should 
 learn as they make progress toward science literacy. Project 2061 was 
 founded in 1985 by the American Association for the Advancement of 
 Science (AAAS) to help all Americans become literate in science, 
 mathematics, and technology.
 
 Scholarships and Early Bird rates are available, but registration is 
 limited. For more details and a registration form, please visit our 
 workshop information page.
