Texas Instruments Workshops for Teachers
Any Science Olympiad coach looking to bring hands-on excitement to the classroom should consider attending Texas Instruments' workshops and professional development opportunities. Teachers can also utilize vast online resource libraries for excellent in-class labs in all science and math topics. Plan ahead and reserve classroom sets of Texas Instruments equipment free for two weeks via the Educator Loan program -- it's easy and can be done completely online. Science Olympiad has a special agreement with TI to allow our Tournament Directors to use the Educator Loan program for Science Olympiad tournaments, so don't forget to take advantage of that incredible service!
