Former Astronaut To Speak On The Importance Of Math, Science
Education
Dr. Sally Ride, America's first woman to fly in space, will be
the keynote speaker at the 23rd annual T(3) International
Conference on February 25, 2011 in San Antonio, Texas. The
T(3) International Conference is a premier professional
development conference for math and science educators. Dr. Ride is
a long-time advocate for math and science education.

"Speaking in front of thousands of dedicated math and science
teachers about the importance of math and science education is a
real honor and privilege," said Sally Ride. "More than anyone, they
know how important it is to educate and support young students who
will become tomorrow's high-tech workforce."
For more than 20 years, presenters at the T(3) International and
Regional Conferences have educated fellow teachers on the
innovative ways to sharpen their pedagogy skills and to engage
students in the math and science classroom using technology.
Teachers who attend will learn from experienced educators,
participate in hundreds of hands-on sessions, network with other
educators and receive classroom activities and ideas to implement
in their own classrooms. They also have the opportunity to preview
the latest classroom technology from Texas instruments.
"Sally Ride has inspired a generation of students to explore
their potential in math and science," said Melendy Lovett,
president of Texas Instruments Education Technology. "We will have
thousands of teachers gathered here from across the U.S. and around
the world, and I can't think of a better person to inspire them as
they return to the classroom with new ways to engage and interact
with their students."
