    2024 Sponsorship Opportunities

    The mission of OSTA is to promote and facilitate excellence and continued improvement in science education.  One of the ways we do this is through providing our hard-working classroom teachers with some much needed face-to-face learning and networking.  We also recognize and celebrate our colleagues who have demonstrated professional excellence.

    The Oregon Science Teachers Association’s Annual Fall Conference on Science Education offers sponsorship opportunities to celebrate teachers, and support their professional learning experiences. Your contributions will facilitate the presentation of professional development programming, as well as other conference functions, including the Awards Event.

    The Oregon Science Teachers Association (OSTA) is a 501(c)(3) membership organization representing science educators statewide, in every science discipline, at every grade level, K-16, as well as members in our informal science education community. 

    Upon completion of this registration, the email confirmation will include the information required for tax purposes as a donation to OSTA which is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.

    Please take a look at the opportunities for sponsorship that we are have to offer.  We are happy to talk with you about customized arrangements, including in-kind equivalence, personnel support, etc. Do not hesitate to contact us about how you would be able to help.  Please contact the OSTA President at President@oregonscience.org

          It's time to celebrate with OSTA!!!

          Join your colleagues as we celebrate the participants, awardees, volunteers, and special guests who have been part of the 2024 OSTA Fall conference.

          Our theme this year is Science Prom! Break out your best science clothing or dive into your closet or a thrift store for prom specific (or adjacent) attire. Yes, that's right - we're expecting everything from poofy prom dresses and ruffled tuxes to favorite science t-shirts, lab coats, and goggles!

                 

          We'll gather at the beautiful Ford Alumni Center on UO's campus for a fun evening celebrating our awardees and another great year with OSTA. 

          Plan on arriving between 6:30-6:45 for a community welcome followed by dinner. After dinner we will recognize our 2024 awardees and have some fun dancing to our science playlist!

          The menu for dinner is centered around a Mediterranean buffet and will accommodate vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, and dairy-free guests. A no-host bar will be available.
