  2026 Sponsorship Opportunities

  The mission of OSTA is to promote and facilitate excellence and continued improvement in science education.  One of the ways we do this is through providing our hard-working classroom teachers with some much needed face-to-face learning and networking.  We also recognize and celebrate our colleagues who have demonstrated professional excellence.

  The Oregon Science Teachers Association’s Annual Fall Conference on Science Education offers sponsorship opportunities to celebrate teachers, and support their professional learning experiences. Your contributions will facilitate the presentation of professional development programming, as well as other conference functions, including the Awards Event.

  The Oregon Science Teachers Association (OSTA) is a 501(c)(3) membership organization representing science educators statewide, in every science discipline, at every grade level, K-16, as well as members in our informal science education community. 

  Upon completion of this registration, the email confirmation will include the information required for tax purposes as a donation to OSTA which is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.

  Please take a look at the opportunities for sponsorship that we are have to offer.  We are happy to talk with you about customized arrangements, including in-kind equivalence, personnel support, etc. Do not hesitate to contact us about how you would be able to help.  Please contact the OSTA President at President@oregonscience.org

  Do you want to get your students outside? Do you need equipment and supplies to do this?

  The Diack Ecology Education Program provides a system of grants, workshops and resources to teachers and students in Oregon to encourage them to participate in field-based science inquiry and ecology studies. 
  

  1. Learn how field-based student directed research can provide an engaging opportunity for students to learn critical thinking, data collection, comparative analysis, and written and oral presentation skills.

  2, Become proficient with a variety of data collecting tools and procedures, from low-tech items like transect tapes and D-nets to high-tech dissolved oxygen sensors and temperature data loggers.

  3, Come away with strategies to manage your particular classroom situation. All classes are unique, but we have a wealth of experience with a wide range of logistical challenges. You can make this work.

  4. Know the procedure for applying for a Diack grant for up to $6000.
