CSTA is pleased to offer conference attendees a new
opportunity to meet and network with fellow science
teachers. We have made reservations at several area
restaurants for Friday, October 22 at 7:00 pm. Each
reservation is for a table of six, and the restaurants
have all agreed to issue separate checks.
Here is how the program works: Visit the Dine-About
Sacramento sign-up board in the registration lobby of
the Sacramento Convention Center on Thursday afternoon
or Friday until 3:30 pm. There you will find the list
of restaurants, sample menus, and a sign-up sheet. If
you would like to eat at that restaurant, add your name
to the list. Once the sign-up list is full, no more
names can be added. On Friday, October 22, arrive at
your restaurant of choice and check in for the reservation
being held under the name of CSTA. Then enjoy an evening
shared with your fellow science teachers, making new
friends, and enjoying a night out on the town.

Hubble 3D
Experience the gripping story- full of hope, crushing
disappointment, dazzling ingenuity, bravery, and triumph
- in Hubble 3D, the seventh awe-inspiring film from
the award-winning IMAX Space Team.
Vividly captured in IMAX 3D, Hubble 3D recounts the
amazing journey of the most important scientific instrument
since Galileo's original telescope and the greatest
success in space since the Moon Landing - the Hubble
Space Telescope. Audiences will accompany the space
walking astronauts as they attempt the most difficult
tasks ever undertaken in NASA's history, and will experience
up close the awesome power of the launches, the heartbreaking
setbacks, and the dramatic rescues of this most powerful
story. Hubble 3D will also reveal the cosmos as never
before - allowing viewers to explore the grandeur of
the nebulae and galaxies, the birth and death of stars,
and some of the greatest mysteries of our celestial
surroundings, all in amazing IMAX 3D. Source:

EVEREST
EVEREST is a story of amazing adventure - taking you
along on an inspirational and spellbinding ascent with
an international team of climbers who find hope, beauty
and triumph in the wake of tragedy. Over creaking ice
falls, across quaking chasms, up dangerous, towering
cliffs, through a harrowing rescue of fellow mountaineers,
and into the mystical danger zone of oxygen-thin altitude,
the IMAX film crew captures the spirit of determination,
optimism, and camaraderie that leads to miraculous accomplishment.
Everest, featuring music by George Harrison, carries
you to the top of the world, and to the peak of human
achievement, on a journey that you will never forget.
