NAAIDT Annual Conference 2010

Free Entry to the Resources Exhibtion open to all Teachers of STEM Subjects plus the opportunity to attend seminars

NAAIDT corporate members will be displaying their latest products and be on hand to give help and advice with any of your queries. This is the ideal opportunity to come and check out what new products are available and talk directly to the manufacturers about the equipment that you already have in school. Its your chance to give them real user feedback and find out how to get the best out of what you’ve got.

Conference Venue

The registration and first day of the conference will be held at the York Marriott Hotel www.marriott.co.uk/hotels/travel/qqyyk-york-marriott-hotel/ , it overlooks the racecourse and is a short drive from the city walls. It is easily accessed by car or within a short taxi ride from the railway station. Leisure facilities include an indoor swimming pool, sauna, whirlpool, air conditioned gym and a beauty spa.  All rooms are en suite and WI-FI access is available.

The conference will be opened by Dave Rowley the Education Director of the BLOODHOUND SCC Engineering Adventure www.bloodhoundssc.com/ .

Early Thursday evening there will be a tour of the National Railway Museum (NRM) followed by an atmospheric dinner in the Station Hall where we will dine amidst luxurious carriages and historic locomotives set against a back drop of a period station www.nrm.org.uk .

We are holding the Friday programme at the National STEM Centre www.nationalstemcentre.org.uk/ . This provides a fitting backdrop to the theme of the conference. At the heart of the centre is a purpose built resource centre, housing an extensive collection of support materials. The collections range across science, design and technology, engineering and mathematics for the 5-19 age group.

Late afternoon we will return to the hotel for our Annual Conference Dinner which will take a Yorkshire theme.

The Saturday programme will be based in the hotel.

 We hope you will be able to join us in York during April
