Nearly 18,000 teachers,
principals, scientists, industry representatives and other education leaders
will convene in Orlando, Florida, on April 6-9 for the country's premier
event for science educators, the National Science Teachers Association
(NSTA) 48th National Convention. This year's annual meeting, held in conjunction
with the Florida Association of Science Teachers, will highlight challenges
facing the science education community, including the looming teacher shortage,
the teaching of evolution, and ways to improve student performance in science.

How Big is the Orange County Convention Center? Well
check out this quote from the OCCC
web site:
"If Chicago's Sears Tower, 1,454 feet in height, was placed
on it's side, it would fit lengthwise inside the Orange County Convention
Center's exhibition space...including the atenna atop the Sears Tower...the
OCCC exhibition hall level is 2,500 feet in length...and all eight halls
are contigous."
The center has 1.1 million square foot of contiguous exhibition space
and plans to expand to 2.1 million square feet by 2003! It is really
BIG!!!
