Share-A-Thon Sessions
Saturday, March 25 • 8:00-10:00 AM
Share-a-thons are informal settings for multiple invited presenters to share information about related projects or findings. The room is set in a “flea market” style (banquet rounds and chairs in the center of the room) to encourage free-flowing movement from one project to another. Attendees can join for part or stay for the entire two-hour session, which can include a myriad of offerings, including poster presentations and “make-n-take” opportunities.
These sessions are organized by committees and groups that invite participants to share ideas connected to specific grades/topics.
