We are extremely excited to kick off the new school year with you at our live all-staff Infusion event this Friday, August 6, at 8 am. This year’s event will be live but take place virtually - although many schools are having a “watch party” with their team so be sure to check with your leadership on how your team is planning on watching. Please review all of the following information and don’t hesitate to reach out to Katie Glenn (Kaitlin.Glenn@scienceandtech.org) with any questions. We are looking forward to connecting with you on the 6th!
