Ever wondered if there was a fellowship or grant to help you complete a research project? Have you ever wanted to submit an amazing classroom investigation you authored to for an award or competition? What about an international workshop for teachers or a seminar for your students from an offshore drilling rig? If you only have 15 minutes each month to spend on NSTA membership benefits, the easiest way to access multiple opportunities is through your NSTA Calendar.
The NSTA Calendar organizes events and programs for science educators’ professional learning opportunities and their classrooms. Like the NSTA Reports Freebies page, many calendar events and opportunities also include free resources. A sampling of current calendar events include the following:

• NASA Educator Professional Development's Free Education Webinars. Join NASA education specialists to learn about activities, lesson plans, educator guides, and resources that bring NASA into your classroom.     
• KidsGardening's Kids Garden Month 2021 Contest. Great prizes will be awarded all month long, including seeds, bulbs, gift cards, and for school gardens, a chance to win one of six $500 awards!       
• Endangered Species Day. The event offers biology, ecology, oceanography, general science, and other teachers an opportunity to educate students about the importance of protecting threatened and endangered plant and animal species. Find event ideas and resources, including an event-planning toolkit with infographics, stickers, bookmarks, fliers, and coloring and activity sheets, and a list of suggested books and films.                                              

Explore and sort your calendar search by region and grade level. Take it one step further by breaking the search down by specific category:

• Awards/Competitions
• Grants/Fellowships
• Summer Programs
• Seminars/Workshops/Courses
• Science/Education Events
• Student Programs

The NSTA Calendar will give you links to upcoming deadlines as well as revolving deadlines for longer-term awards and grant competitions. If you have a workshop, seminar, grant, award, competition, or fellowship for science educators, e-mail calendar@nsta.org.
