Conference Proposal Workshop

We invite you to apply for the 2026 Western Regional Noyce Network Conference Proposal Workshop.

The workshop has these goals:
1. Engage Noyce scholars and alumni in community-building
2. Disseminate innovative science and math teaching and learning strategies
3. Facilitate the development of professional identity for Noyce scholars and alumni

The specific outcome of the workshop is for each Noyce recipient to submit a proposal to a statewide professional educators’ conference.

Participants who complete and submit a proposal for a presentation at a professional conference (such as the California Science Education Conference or the California Mathematics Council Conference) will receive a stipend of $500. Meals will be provided for the in-person event.
