The Society for Advancement of Chicanos and Native Americans in Science (SACNAS) is hosting a series of K-12 Teacher Workshops, as part of their annual conference, this year to be held in Denver, Colorado, from September 29th to October 2nd.

The mission of SACNAS is to encourage Chicano/Latino and Native American students to pursue graduate education and obtain the advanced degrees necessary for science research, leadership, and teaching careers at all levels.

Participants will experience hands-on activities, lab tours and informative presentations designed to build a common understanding of inquiry-based teaching and establish a collaborative environment among participants.

This year's conference theme, Science for America's Future, explores the contemporary status and role of Chicano/Latinos and Native Americans in science, technology, engineering and mathematics and advances new agendas for greater diversity in America's scientific fields.
