Building a Community of Innovation
“Education is the foundation of our economy. What (and how) we learn in school determines who we become as individuals and our success throughout our lives. It informs how we solve problems, how we work with others, and how we look at the world around us. In today’s innovation economy, education becomes even more important for developing the next generation of innovators and creative thinkers.”

In order to prepare students for the future, JASON Learning works to prepare teachers in today’s classroom. In Houston, Texas, we will be hosting our annual JASON National Educators’ Conference (JNC), Innovating HouSTEM. The JNC is a 3 day conference featuring hands-on workshops, engaging STEM heroes, and exciting field adventures with a community of peers to learn and share best practices for labs, projects, tricky-to-teach concepts, and more. Whether you are an experienced JASON veteran or brand new, this conference is the perfect place to get your professional development in existing JASON curriculum and get an exclusive preview into what’s coming soon from JASON Learning.
