Teaching with Small Boats Conference
April 27 - 29, 2012
The next Teaching With Small Boats Conference will be held at the Center For Wooden Boats' Cama Beach facility on Camano Island in Washington State, April 27, 28, 29 2012. At the previous TWSB Conference in March 2010, 87 attendees representing 63 programs, and serving 27,000 young people a year, got together to share ideas and best practices. It resulted in more partnerships between organizations and the start of nationally coordinated programming. This year's conference will focus on sharing successful projects and programs, as well as exploring ways that the Teaching with Small Boats Community can work together to further the development of boats as teaching tools.

Building to Teach Training
Immediately after the conference on April 30, May 1st and 2nd (and also at Cama Beach) Joe Youcha will be running a Building To Teach hands on math training to train instructors how to teach math while building a simple boat. Travel and training stipends are available to groups that qualify. (It might be a good way to fund your attendance at the Conference and get hands on math training...)
