The 2007-2008 NSDL/NSTA Web Seminar Series begins on Sept. 20 with a presentation aimed at motivating your students to consider careers in math and science. The FunWorks is a digital resource library designed to encourage middle school students to explore math and science careers by showing that while some subjects are perceived as “geeky,” they have real-world connections to art, games, music, sports, and other topics of interest to kids. What does physics have to do with how Venus Williams holds her tennis racket? What does designing video games have to do with ratios and proportions in algebra? Register today and find out!

Since 2005 NSDL/NSTA Web seminars have been helping teachers connect with new resources, meet educational professionals from across the country, virtually, and learn from science, technology, engineering and mathematics experts. NSDL joins the NSTA Web Seminar Series once again for the 2007-2008 school year with a full lineup of fascinating speakers and topics. From subjects including careers in science to evolutionary biology, these free, 90-minute live seminars connect you to NSDL’s experts in education and research as well as with featured digital resources–straight from your desktop!

The series begins on September 20th with Sarita Nair-Pillai, Project Director at the Education Development Center, and will feature resources from The Fun Works, a digital resource library designed to encourage middle school students to explore math and science careers.
