NWO Symposium on Science, Math & Technology Teaching
Each year this event brings together around 500 university professors, k-12 teachers, graduate and undergraduate students who participate in around 70 sessions.
Extreme Degrees
Going to the Xtreme to recruit more young people into science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) majors and careers. Xtreme Degrees Day is our annual kickoff to STEM recruiting in which thousands of students and faculty attend. Our first Xtreme Degrees Day was composed of the Xtreme Fountain, Xtreme Fluids, and Xtreme Life events. Students had the chance to watch nucleation in action as 704 pop bottles erupted into a fountain that was choreographed to music (in collaboration with COSI-Toledo), run across a liquid that behaves like a solid under force, and hold or watch the mating behavior of bearded dragons.Each year we plan to expand the number of Xtreme Degrees events to include more STEM fields. We use these events to capture students' interest and enthusiasm, talk about the science behind the event, and then direct them to related careers.
OJSHS
The purpose of the Ohio Junior Science and Humanities Symposium (OJSHS) is for high school students to learn about the scientific process and to meet and visit with new students interested in science. The OJSHS program for young scientists is unique because each year a high school student from Ohio has the opportunity to win more than $17,000 in college scholarships and to represent the United States at an international science meeting held in London, England.
Future Teachers Conference
The Future Teacher Conference is an annual gathering of local master teachers, who present their triumphs and struggles in the classroom, and share tips on how to be an effective educator with pre-service teachers.
NWO/COSMOS Inquiry Series
The NWO/COSMOS Inquiry Series is a highly popular professional development opportunity in the region, with K-12 pre-service and in-service teachers, graduate students, school administrators, and higher education faculty learning and collaborating together in a variety of monthly forums.
DREAMS
DREAMS is a K-12 Math and Science program focusing on leadership skills and deep content knowledge through one of the following three methods; a Specialist Endorsement in Mathematics or Science OR an MAT (Master of Arts in Teaching) in Interdisciplinary Mathematics and Science OR an MAT in Mathematics, Physics or Biology. DREAMS is a 3-year program with summer and academic year components.
NWO TEAMS
NWO TEAMS is a science and mathematics professional development opportunity for grades 3-6 teachers focusing on modified and enhanced OSCI and OMAP modules. Featuring an $800 stipend, classroom materials and graduate credit scholarships. NWO TEAMS has summer and academic year components.

Membership is open to pre-service teachers at all levels of licensure and dues include membership in both the local and state organizations. BG/UT SECO members meet on a monthly basis to participate in a variety of professional development opportunities, such as Project Learning Tree, Population Connection, Project Wild, Project Wet, NWO Symposium and the SECO Conference. In addition, members learn about science resources throughout northwest Ohio and develop professional relationships with others interested in science education.
BGCTM
The Bowling Green Council of Teachers of Mathematics is a professional organization of students enrolled in teacher education programs, planning to teach mathematics. BGCTM is open to all students, particularly Secondary Integrated Mathematics, Middle Childhood (Mathematics Concentration), and Early Childhood majors. We currently have over 200 members and are affiliated with the Ohio Council of Teachers of Mathematics (OCTM) and National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM).
REAL
REAL provides an opportunity for high school students entering 11th and 12th grade to receive college credit which may also fulfill high school requirements, if approved by the student's home school district. This is a three-week residential summer academy at Bowling Green State University. Upon successful completion of the academy courses, students are eligible to take an additional distance-learning course.
