K-12 Teachers' Day

Click here to download a registration form 

A special day has been prepared on Monday, JULY 30 for K-12 physics teachers that have never attended a national AAPT Meeting. Qualified teachers will receive a discounted registration fee of $85. This fee is much less than the usual early bird one-day registration fee of $260 for AAPT members and $485 for non-members. We are offering this special registration fee, because we want to encourage you to sample what AAPT has to offer K-12 physics teachers. We are confident that once you see what AAPT has to offer, you will become an active AAPT member.
