Explore your sustainability educator network and learn about support from STEM and sustainability professionals. Featuring a keynote and plenary speakers and student experiences. This year’s Summit is hosted in two venues Boise Schools and the Boise WaterShed and will include some local field trips.
- This growing sustainability network focuses on resources, projects, field trips & curriculum that address local, regional & global issues & solutions. The main audience is teachers and administrators, but we encourage professionals, administrators, students and educators of all types to submit proposals to present and to attend!

The second day of the summit our plenary speaker, will speak at the newly redesigned WaterShed building. The rest of the day will be more experiential and hands-on with breakout sessions, activities and field trips from a diverse set of educators and professionals from our partners and supporters.
