Partner With STAT in Advancing Texas Science Education

The Science Teachers Association of Texas (STAT) supports Texas science educators through community, professional learning, and resources designed to strengthen science instruction statewide. Partner support helps expand that impact, connecting educators with the tools, ideas, and relationships that power discovery in classrooms across Texas.

The annual Conference for the Advancement of Science Teaching (CAST), presented by STAT, brings together thousands of science educators, campus and district leaders, and partners from across Texas for 3 high-energy days of hands-on professional learning and connection. For partners, CAST is the most direct way to connect with Texas science educators—through the Exhibit Hall, sponsorship visibility, and advertising that supports meaningful engagement.

CAST26 will be held November 12–14 in Houston, Texas. Exhibit, sponsor, and advertising sales are open.

Why CAST

CAST is the must-attend event for science educators in Texas and the largest gathering of classroom and informal science educators in the state.

 

Participation spans across grade levels, with approximately one-third of attendees representing elementary grades, one-third middle grades, and one-third high school.

Plus, 90% of exhibitors and sponsors report meeting their objectives at CAST.

Engagement Opportunities at CAST

  • The CAST Exhibit Hall is a hands-on space where educators explore new tools, compare solutions, and have real conversations about classroom needs. It's also where partners build awareness, demonstrate value, and generate qualified leads, often in minutes, not months.
