2026 SASTA Annual Conference
The 2026 SASTA Annual Conference theme, Cultivating Curiosity, invites educators to explore how we nurture curiosity in science classrooms—from the first question to the final reflection. Curiosity is at the heart of scientific thinking, and this year’s theme highlights the teaching practices, learning environments and real-world connections that help students stay engaged, ask better questions and think deeply about the world around them.
