Conferences & Workshops

ASP introduced Learn@ASP in 2022 as a new portal to host workshops and courses and eventually our library of resources! We used the portal in 2024 extensively for both Eclipse Ambassadors and Eclipse Stars trainings, and currently the platform now includes access to workshops and other live events. Potential participants can browse and register for offerings, then access resources after the event.  

In the fall of 2024, the Learn@ASP platform offered new workshops and was also used for scheduling classrooms to receive a Virtual Field Trip. A robust suite of events are coming in the summer of 2025 and the Virtual Field Trip concept will become a core part of the Learn@ASP catalog in late 2025.
