Meetings

PNW and Other Meetings

Almost every month of the school year, PNW and other groups meet to share ideas on teaching physics as well as community events related to science and engineering.  Here is where we have gathered information about those meetings for you to explore.

2. Chicago AAPT Fall Meeting

The fall 2025 CSAAPT meeting is scheduled for Saturday, November 15th at Von Steuben Metropolitan Science Center in Chicago.  Many thanks to Brian Huang for offering to host our meeting this fall. Mark your calendars and plan to join us for what promises to be a wonderful day of learning and networking. More specific details about the keynote talk and schedule will soon be found on our website. 

At this time, the website is accepting abstracts for contributed talks (15 minutes each) and posters. Please submit the information on our webpage.  There are limited spaces for contributed talks so submit your abstract as soon as possible. We are also planning to have one or two workshops in the afternoon.  If you are interested in presenting a workshop, please contact either our president (John McGuire) or past president (Anthony Escuadro) to share your idea.  

Registration links and details will be available soon and I will send out information about that as well. 

Hope your fall semester is off to a great start and we look forward to seeing you in November at Von Steuben.
