Palm Beach County high school science teachers are invited to take part in this unique professional development workshop at Scripps Florida.

Scripps Florida InSPIRE (Instructional Support Program for Innovative Research Education), was developed to meet Scripps Florida's goal of addressing the needs of science teachers by providing opportunities to strengthen laboratory skills, build confidence, and network with fellow teachers and Scripps scientists - all in a supportive and engaging environment.
