Our Spring conference will be April 12-13, 2024 at Sierra College in Rocklin. Registration is at https://ncnaapt.org/event-registration/?ee=54. Annual dues are $20, which covers two meetings, food included. If you dues are current from our fall meeting, you will get an email with a coupon code for registration to this meeting.
Our keynote speaker will be Dan Burns, who has spent decades improving physics education in Northern California and beyond. His career has spanned rocket engineering at Lockheed-Martin, high school physics teaching, and work at PASCO. He currently heads the PTSOS program that helps new (and not-so-new) physics teachers.
