Pittcon Science Week
Sponsored by Pittcon, Science Week offers outreach and support programs for science education in the city that hosts its annual convention.
Science Week offers interactive workshops designed for elementary, middle, and high school science teachers. Workshops are designed to help teachers implement fun experiments into their classrooms.

Some of the ways Science Week enhances science educators include:
Teacher Workshops
Teacher Workshops are designed to help teachers implement fun experiments into their classrooms. Participants receive instruction and, depending on the workshop, even supplies and materials to help them perform some of the educational experiments in their own classrooms.
Classroom Equipment Grants
Equipment grants are available for teachers who attend a Teacher Workshop. These grants enable teachers to purchase equipment demonstrated in the workshops or other science-related equipment of their choice from select companies.
Student Workshops
Student Workshops are designed for primary students in grades 1-6. These hands-on workshops will lead participants through the exciting process of experimentation and discovery.
Foldscope for Teachers
Foldscope provides a low cost and convenient way for teachers to give students a visual demonstration of the microscopic world. Slides can be displayed on mobile phones or projected for classrooms.
Science Week is sponsored by Pittcon
